INTRODUCING

Mindstrechers Academy

 

Dr. Claire Warden’s approach to nature kindergartens has earned her international recognition as a pioneer in educational thinking. She is one of the world’s leading consultants and writers on the use of consultative methods in education. She also works internationally under her own name and has been widely acknowledged for her expertise.

Mindstretchers is a training consultancy based in Perthshire, Scotland. They believe that children should have access to natural learning resources and that they should be able to lead their own learning. Through our training and resources we hope to share this philosophy with anyone working with children. All of our training can be applied to children from birth to 11. Above all else, we want to see children receiving the best education possible in a multi-sensory environment. We hope to share our positive attitude.
