Get to know us

We are two friends and former public school co-workers, that after a combined 23 years in the classroom, started a venture to create an extraordinary learning environment that will truly inspire. We are passionate about creating activities that expand beyond the confines of a classroom, allowing children to explore and learn through natural, hands-on experiences. We offer a nurturing and engaging environment that encourages children to explore the world around them, allowing them to flourish.

We recognize that all children learn at their own pace, and in their own style, and we feel that all learning should honor and reflect that. In our years of classroom experience, we have been successful supporting diverse learners in various settings. Our ability to adapt teaching strategies to meet individual needs will allow each child to blossom, and will truly inspire a love of learning, building a foundation for success.

In all of our years in the classroom, we worked directly together for only one life-changing year. But that year was enough for us to form a lifelong friendship, and lead us to our vision of an amazing future of fun learning adventures that we can't wait to share!

Annmarie Stagliano

Miss Annmarie entered the field of education back in 2009 as a classroom aide, and she knew then that teaching was what she was meant to do. Annmarie returned to school and graduated from Temple University with a dual teaching certification in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. Most of her classroom teaching career took place in self-contained classrooms or preschool settings, where she quickly learned the importance and value of learning taking place at an individualized level and pace, as well as the importance of play in all stages of childhood development. Annmarie’s students always thrived once they entered the doors to her classroom, and learned to find their voice and a love for learning. Annmarie has always been passionate about communicating with parents and related service providers as well, knowing it is a full team effort to enrich children’s lives. In addition to classroom teaching, Annmarie has spent 6 years working in homes with children and their families in order to help them gain language, play and life skills, and social emotional regulation skills necessary to improve their everyday lives. Throughout the years, Annmarie has taught children ranging from ages 1-16 in both school and home settings. Her biggest passion lies in empowering children AND parents to take learning into their own hands.

After having her children (ages 4 & 5), Annmarie knew her time in the classroom was limited, and the desire to homeschool became a seed in her mind that continued to grow. She wanted more time with her own children to enable them to have the childhood they deserved - full of play, nature, family, friends, and adventures. While teaching is a passion of hers, Annmarie left the classroom in June of 2024 to dedicate more time to her own children and to provide them, as well as other children, with a truly fun, adventurous, and individualized way of learning. Annmarie loves spending time with her family, especially in nature, and enjoys reading, journaling, yoga, and hiking.

Lisa Christopher

Miss Lisa graduated from Villanova University, with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, but after a successful career in marketing and communications, Lisa realized her true love for teaching when she had her three children (ages 15, 17, & 18). Through parenting Lisa realized how many learning opportunities exist in everyday activities, and immediately took joy in enriching her children’s lives through education. When Lisa’s children were all enrolled in school, she obtained her substitute teaching certificate, and started working in a public school district, where she substituted in grades pre-K to 3rd grade. She also became a special education instructional aide, working in various classroom settings, as well as serving as a one-to-one aide for children who needed additional support. Throughout her years in the classroom, Lisa has helped countless children access curriculum, gain independence, social and life skills, helping children build their foundation for success. Lisa was also a SEPAC member and organized and held meetings to support special education families, help them access resources, and advocate for their children.

Lisa’s passion lies in building foundational skills such as self-confidence, social and life skills through engaging in everyday learning experiences. Her own children are a testament to her teaching powers as they continue to benefit from her guidance, including cooking family meals and preparing for life beyond high school. They have both inspired and encouraged her to share her passion for getting back to the fundamentals, teaching life skills and independence, to build a foundation for success. Lisa loves spending time with her family and friends, creating meals and memories together, Sunday dinners, the beach, and traveling.
