100 Village + YES Network Incubation Meeting at The Mulberry Tree Progressive Unschool

The first big team meeting after Mrinalini comes back from India. Last month, I came upon an opportunity to join forces with a Montessori educator whom I’ve know for almost two years to open a new school. So far I’ve been organizing many free playgroups to both learn from local parents their situations, and teach the parents how to observe and let their children lead in their own discovery and learning. Now, with The Mulberry Tree Progressive Unschool, I’ll be getting more hands on experience in shaping what we aim to become the best, locally developed early childhood approach that will become an example for others to follow.

Thanks again to Thousand Lim, Bobby Chan and Michael Wong from YES Network, helping to keep us focus on the big picture! Creating systemic change in early childhood education is becoming more and more attainable thanks to your trainings! Both Mrinalini and I are all pumped up to take this problem head on! Let’s GO!!
