EARLY CHILDHOOD
COMMUNITY
Kidcrew Adventures Play based learning community fosters self-directed, nature-based learning in an Indoor + Outdoor environment. Through our child-centered approach, our crew is empowered to explore, take risks, fail, and try again. Exploration and curiosity lead the charge, not teachers, schedules, or adult-centered crafts +activities. Come find out more about our adventures in childhood.
We run fast, climb high, jump, roll, splash, and challenge. In short, we do dangerous things carefully! Enrolled crew members acquire the only education an early learner requires: one gained through experience, taking risks, and learning who they are in the process.
A lot of attention is given to "stranger danger" in the early years. It may be a valid desire, given that it is a matter of safety, but the problem is it's often rooted in our own fears. In truth, there are far more humans in this world looking to assist rather than harm, and the crew gets to recognize them by becoming familiar with the helpers in our Village.
Children learn to trust themselves by knowing their own abilities and limitations. They grasp this understanding by engaging in rich, full-body sensory experiences.

As a play advocate, I lend my voice during podcasts, panels, workshops and other speaking engagements in the pursuit of amplifying the voices of smallest among us. I bring over two decades of early education to educators and providers who are ready to break up with outdated systems that center testing standards and compulsory instruction that encloses our students in order to shift our focus to centering the child and their authentic learning experience.
