BRINGING JOY TO LEARNING!

Children are devoted to learning from birth onward.

They are joyfully self-motivated and guided by natural curiosity, stages of development, and sensitive periods.

Often their playful activities are self-directed learning processes.


How can we keep this natural zest for learning alive and how can we re-kindle it?

Carmen Gamper provides consulting and workshops for teachers, parents and home-schooling families, K-8, seeking information and practical tools for child-centered education, and enrichment to traditional school.

She specializes in hands-on learning materials and self-directed learning techniques based on Montessori, Wild, Froebel, Freinet, Waldorf and Reggio Emilia.

Learn how to nourish the joy of learning:

Create YES environments, safe spaces for independent play and co-creative learning.

Provide hands-on learning materials and proven teaching skills from a variety of reform educators.

• Refine and embrace your own teaching style and preference: Are you a muse, a guide, an observer, a companion for children?

Nourish with patience and loving attention and help fulfill children's genuine needs for movement, unconditional love, play, and nature.

Set boundaries kindly and firmly and assist children in developing social skills.

Offer guided lessons and co-directed learning as a an enrichment to self-directed learning.
