Our Framework
We will teach you our methodology throughout our journey together. To start, please familiarize yourself with the concept of a "step", "milestone", and "quest" by hovering over the examples below.
Lifting Head
Milestones represent major life accomplishments. Milestones act like progress checks as they help us identify whether or not we are learning. Each milestone occurs organically, so no forcing these. The child shows us when they are ready. We will continue to set the environment up, and teach the right lessons to ensure many milestones are achieved.
Tummy Time
Steps represent the individual units of progress. They should be difficult enough that a child will try, but not so difficult that they gives up. Each step is one increment forward from the last – meaning that the lessons of steps compound. Once enough steps have been complete, the child's understanding will have grown significantly. After a step is initially completed, it often moves to the Daily Quest Log where it stays until mastery occurs.
Associating Rewards

Walking
Quests are journeys to achieve meaningful accomplishments where a critical lesson is learned. The name quest helps us gamify the journey excite progress. Quests are "the big goals" which are made up of a series of steps which the child must complete in order to achieve an outcome. Quests can take anywhere from a day to many days to complete, but should never take more than one month of consistent effort.
