Our Team

Sophia Rowland, Founder & Director

With over a decade dedicated to Early Childhood Education, Sophia is a passionate advocate for play-based learning. She creates environments designed to ignite curiosity and foster collaborative discovery, firmly believing children thrive when given space for imaginative play. Sophia’s Bachelor’s degree in Writing and Literature from The California College of the Arts uniquely informs her approach, inspiring her to cultivate a love for reading and storytelling. As a parent herself, Sophia deeply understands the profound importance of strong family-educator connections, ensuring a truly supportive and collaborative learning journey for every child.
