To awaken joy in creative expression and learning.

Our plan

I have been teaching in kindergartens for 11 years and decided it was time to follow my heart and teach within my philosophy. Small groups, one on one attention in a creative and fun setting. I believe there is a creative genius in all of us and worry that the school system is educating creativity out of our children. I also believe that in order for a child's creativity to be fully appreciated, adults need to understand the way children think and create. So I am opening Born Genius to adults as well as children so that they can get in touch with their inner child.

What we did

I am still in the process of starting this school (we call it a College of Creativity). I have leased a shop, formulated a program of classes in art and creative writing and have purchased all of the furniture and equipment to set things up. My husband picked up the key today, so I am very excited about spending some time between my day job, getting things set up and ready to open next term. I came across your talk on TED today and have been so inspired by the pirate, superhero ideas and the idea of having schools and publishers involved. I do have contacts and will be making some calls and visits.
