Where Wonders Never Cease Background Noise
-
- Business
From the very beginning of a child's life, the natural instinct of parents is to "shape them". This mentality is passed along to educators, as kids enter pre-school, K-12 and eventually post-secondary. It's no wonder that, by the time they enter college and careers, their curiosity and wonder has been sucked out of them, as educational expert Sir Ken Robinson suggests.
Dina Ottoni Battistessa and Tristan Katz founded Akidamy Early Learning and Care, with the vision of a pre-school attempting to give kids a different start to their educational journey. A pre-school founded on the principles of the Reggio Emilia approach, where curiosity and creativity flourish. And where the design of everything, from classroom to curriculum, is largely based upon interaction with every child who walks through their door.
This empathy-based concept not only guided Dina and Tristan through their first 6 years of Akidemy, it also sparked an innovative solution to the unique challenges presented to them and their clients during the Covid 19 pandemic. And in the process, triggered a new product line - Akidemy Play.
