Imagine a makerspace. Imagine an intentional curriculum that spans from birth through adulthood, grounded in developmental theory and designed to support student agency.

  • You have some meaningful experience with elementary-aged children, and appreciate this amazing age group
  • You see a close partnership with parents as essential for student success, and are as eager to partner with parents as you are to serve their children
