Little Dynamo is the creation of Brooke, school teacher and mom. Sparked by her toddler sons bursting enthusiasm and energy and her time spent in the education field, Little Dynamo was created to encourage daily, active play. Her hope is to create a generation of Little Dynamos that exude self-confidence in social situations, through exploring their unlimited creativity. Brooke believes that children should be encouraged to explore their surroundings, learning and developing through play.
Friedrich Froebel, a German educator who created the concept of ‘kindergarten’, believed that “play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child’s soul.”
At Little Dynamo, we want your precious children to experience a joyful, ‘play based’ approach to learning. We hope to inspire each and every Little Dynamo to develop their remarkable ability for exploration, imagination and decision making.
