Starting a school for our kids and community was going to be a big undertaking, we knew that! But we have learned so much alongside our kids that has made this endeavor all worth it.
If you’re new here and wondering WHY we started a school or WHO this is for, you can listen to the first episode about the school HERE!
We’re officially TWO MONTHS into our school year and our learners are wrapping up Session 2 next week with their second exhibition! We’ve learned SO much in the last 8 weeks and I recorded an entire podcast episode sharing….
- What has shocked me
- The personal changes this has led to in our lives and
- The amazing things we never expected 5-7 year olds to grasp so quickly but have become a new mantra in their studio AND in our home!
Whether you’re starting a school, a new business, or changing seasons in life.. I think this episode will encourage you to continue pursuing your passions and LEARNING! We are never too old to keep learning and growing, and it has been so fun to do that alongside our kids!
