About

Hi, I am Shefali Friesen

My kids and I see everything as a learning journey that we experience together – a great expedition. In this spirit, we learned that even the smallest, most mundane tasks have magic in them if we are present in the moment.

As a parent and their primary facilitator, I learned how to insert academic standards into this magic of every day life. This lifestyle – full of curiosity and wonder- is what I am so eager to share with any parent who wants to learn. I have experienced the greatest growth – personally and professionally – as a mother, and know you can too.

Why did I create this site and who is it for?

I was just about to launch version 2 of my startup when I found out that I was expecting a daughter. When she was born, I couldn't think about anything else... my heart would break being away from her. So I decided I would make it my life's work to love her and my son, and give them the best education possible. While I cannot predict the future, so far we are happy and thriving. I wish this for all the other families who are looking for something different from the usual stress of balancing parenthood and careers.
