Testimonials

"Winna and Megan work seamlessly together in creating an optimal learning community for students and their families to thrive! It is evident they strive to support each child's strengths and needs. My son grew tremendously with their guidance especially in his language and social skills. They also encouraged his confidence, resourcefulness, and love of learning. We are so grateful of the time we shared with Winna and Megan and we continue to feel the impact they made on our family. "

"Winna and Megan are a great team and wonderful teachers! My son grew and learned so much while in class with them! I always felt like he was in great hands while he was at school and appreciated the amount of communication I received about his days and how he was doing in his class and with other students. They allowed him to be himself and trust his judgment in a safe and practical way, especially important when learning new skills in an outdoor forest environment. We wish Winna and Megan could be his teachers forever and are so excited for them in this new venture!"

"More than 2 years ago, my daughter (now 6), began attending nature school in Winna and Megan’s class. Simply put, they are the educators I always hoped my kids would have. Megan is so patient and has the most calming and reassuring presence, especially when helping kids work through big feelings. Winna is passionate and driven, and she constantly seeks new opportunities to learn and grow. Her suggestions for books and online resources have given me new understanding and appreciation of unstructured play and outdoor learning. Winna and Megan are both kind and compassionate, intelligent and informed, and excellent communicators with kids and families alike. We feel so fortunate to have our daughter and son (3) join Winna and Megan at The Lumen House this year. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

"My children attended camp with Winna and Megan as their guides in 2021 and we were so thrilled with our experience. Winna has the most calming demeanor and immediately put me at ease when I dropped my kids off! She and Megan taught them so much - asked them engaging questions, allowed them to have their feelings but provided whatever support was needed, and challenged them to try new things and to learn. One thing my husband and I loved in particular, was that Winna really connected with our daughter who can be a bit anxious at times. Winna knew how to speak to her, how to address her perfectionist and rigid tendencies and the tools she gave our daughter are still useful for us a year later. Winna and Megan are exceptional teachers, humans, and caregivers."
