Lucy has devoted over thirty years to working with young children and families, guided by a belief that curiosity is the heart of learning. With a PhD in the Sociology of Childhood, she has collaborated with educators across Europe and the U.S., exploring what high-quality early education looks like in daily practice. As a teacher, mentor, lecturer, and school director, she views learning as a living relationship between children, adults, families, and the world. She champions children’s right to play and brings research into meaningful classroom experiences.
Eliana began as a speech and language therapist, inspired by how children communicate in many forms. Her work, shaped in Brazil and Argentina, blends listening, observation, language, design, and play to create spaces where children feel seen. Together, they are building a school grounded in curiosity, relationships, and joy.
