Our Journey:
Established in 2016, The Kinder Lab embarked on an educational voyage that started as an extracurricular STEAM program exclusively for Pre-K pupils. Our dedication and love for learning transformed this vision, expanding our horizon to cater to students spanning Pre-K to High School. We are proud of our humble beginnings and even prouder of the significant milestones we've achieved since. A notable highlight was our successful proof of concept, executed at the Goddard School of Apex for one season. Immediately afterward, unforeseen challenges led to unforeseen opportunities to refine, experiment and play the concept forward. We took these experiences in stride, integrating them into our curriculum and program structure, allowing The Kinder Lab to evolve into a full-fledged track-out program.
Our Expertise:
The collective teaching experience of our owner-teachers stretches beyond two decades, demonstrating our commitment and prowess in the educational sector. A breakdown of our experience is as follows:
