Creating a microschool isn't as daunting as you might think. Helping people launch microschools is what we love doing most. “For this group, it has really been about finding a place where all children can thrive,” said Ashley Soifer. “They also really wanted something outdoors. They couldn’t find what they were looking for in [their community]. It didn’t exist yet. It was something that they knew was possible, but they needed to be the ones to create it.” Stand Together Mary Jo Fairhead Don Soifer https://lnkd.in/gBm5ECnM
