A new vision for childhood education.

Welcome to Modulo. We are so glad you are here! Modulo is a new approach to childhood education. Rather than taking place in one setting with one set of resources, Modular education is built from a mosaic of resources, drawing from a variety of different organizations and sources. Through a combination of 1-1 tutoring, enriching social experiences, educational childcare and expert support we make it easy for families give their children an exceptional education that allows the whole family to thrive.

In this blog, unschooling parent Lesley Grossblatt discusses how create an environment where kids’ natural interests and curiosities are developed and encouraged.

“Self-education through play and exploration requires enormous amounts of unscheduled time—time to do whatever one wants to do, without pressure, judgment, or intrusion from authority figures. That time is needed to make friends, play with ideas and materials, experience and overcome boredom, learn from one’s own mistakes, and develop passions.”
