About
CHILDREN'S CONCIERGE
Our Mission
The mission of Children’s Concierge is to curate opportunities for learning all over the world. We are about embellishing a child's learning—a family's learning—through authentic, world experiences.
We want to liberate learning from the brick and mortar classroom. No, we’re not suggesting putting an end to school buildings; we’re just suggesting adding other, more expanded options to the mix.
We want families to hear and see and do; to ask questions, to turn things upside down and to make new connections; to try out old ideas in new settings and to bring new ideas back to old setting.
Our Vision
We envision a world where it’s expected that learning happens everywhere/anywhere and all the time.
In our vision:
- Kids are excited and curious about the world around them.
- Learning is person-centered, based on the interests and needs of each learner.
- People around the world respect, learn from and help each other.
- Kids teach their parents/grandparents to be lifelong learners.
