The Story
Our origin story started with organic interactions our team had with parents and other caring adults. Families came to us asking for more materials and concepts to reinforce lessons introduced in the classroom. The result? Our team launching Kaleidoscope Learning to share our knowledge with families.
The Team
The Kaleidoscope Learning team is passionate about bringing early childhood education into families' homes. Our small but mighty team is ready to explore early childhood education topics alongside you. Check out our team page to learn more about the faces behind Kaleidoscope Learning.

Guiding Principles
Our team is passionate about nurturing the whole child and their family. Our experienced educators and enriching environment promote social-emotional development, healthy habits, and metacognitive skills alongside academics. We place particular emphasis on literacy and early reading; we employ researched-based pedagogies and provide resources to families who hope to learn more about child development.
Inspired by the Montessori pedagogy, we provide individualized educational experiences tailored to the needs and interests of each child using scientifically-designed, beautifully crafted, hands-on learning materials. We implement research-based pedagogies informed by cognitive neuroscience, child development, and longitudinal studies examining quality of life indicators.
