Message From Our Founder
Children are gifts we are entrusted for a time to care for, nurture and provide for on all levels. It is a responsibility that most of us have never been trained for. To ensure a child receives the best “education” we can is one of the most time intensive and expensive processes we encounter in raising our children.
Every child is a unique entity unto themselves, with an inner genius waiting to be awakened. Each child has unique strengths, talents, skills, interests, understandings, passions, creativity and learning preferences that make it virtually impossible to design a system that meets every childs needs.
Our society is undergoing a shift of consciousness. There is a resurgence of going back to community and putting family first. Families are choosing to redefine their world and that of their children in a new way,
a way that works for the child, the family as a whole and incorporates the core values, beliefs, interests, culture and dynamics of the family unit. These families are choosing to enhance what is available to them through conventional methods and take responsibility for augmenting the areas they feel are not addressed but essential to a child’s overall development.
How individuals view the education process is also being redefined and expanded to encompass the child
as a whole, their body, mind and spirit. While our school system does the best it can to provide a basic foundation of learning, the world is evolving at such a pace that teachers and schools are hard pressed
to meet the needs of each student.
As a parent, I recognized this long before my daughter was old enough to be enrolled in the school system.
The challenge was I had no idea how to address what I felt was lacking.
I couldn’t even put into words what that was. I just knew that in the end I wanted her to be able to live a happy, inspired life of purpose, being the hero of her own life and empowered with the skills she would need
to succeed on her terms. Seventeen years ago, I was just your average parent who had been conditioned to think “school” was how you got an “education”. Yet each time I thought of putting my daughter into the accepted system, something in me questioned whether I was doing what was right for her.
I just knew I wanted so much more for her than the usual “education”…
I wanted her to have opportunities, skill sets and resources that schools couldn’t provide due to limited budgets, time, and other restrictions. So I started exploring options, asking questions,
seeking resources and techniques that I felt would work for my child.
I have found that many educators and parents are searching for the same thing I was.
They want to keep up with the latest strategies and scientific advances so they can help the children they are entrusted with to learn in ways that work for them while empowering and preparing those children to lead productive and inspired lives, pursuing their dreams.
They are hindered by three key factors,
1. They don't know what they don't know making it virtually impossible to teach skills
they don't have themselves;
2. They don't have the time to do the research about what's new out there and
3. For many, budget restrictions come into play.
As a single parent and having been chair of numerous organizations
with limited resources and budgets, I understand all too well these hindering factors.
It is my intention within the Natural Learning Centre to offer the latest in information, scientific research, tools and strategies to those who wish to empower children for success.
This is only possible through the creation of a collaborative and transformational community
of caring individuals, educators, experts, corporations and communities working together.
A community dedicated to providing children with the Life Skills that will enable them to become happy, successful, empowered heroes in their own lives today and unify them as life-long caring stewards of their communities. These will be the heroes who inspire others tomorrow.
It's a crazy big dream. A dream we are passionate about making a reality.
It is my hope you will choose to join us in our mission to empower children
in your local communities and on a global scale.
