The Living Room is looking for passionate, engaging specialists and facilitators to join our learning community. We are seeking individuals who can bring subjects to life in ways that children can truly feel, explore, and connect with.
About The Living Room:
At The Living Room, we believe childhood should feel safe, connected, meaningful, and deeply human. We are building a small, relationship-based co-operative learning community for sensitive and slow-to-warm children ages 4–7 that honours emotional development, curiosity, creativity, movement, and nervous system regulation alongside academics.
This is not a traditional classroom.This is a space where children are supported to:
- feel safe in their bodies
- move through anxiety with support (not pressure)
- take healthy risks and build confidence
- connect deeply with nature, self, and others
- develop a true love of learning
