If you’ve ever felt a bit overwhelmed and uncertain, you just wish someone told you what to do, when to do it and how...
If you hate the idea of a prescriptive workbook… forced worksheets… paper pencil tasks and prolonged periods of seat work…
Maybe you're intimidated by the idea of a creative, hands-on learning all the time… all the mess… all the supplies… all the work..
If you want a child-led learning experience but need a bit of a plan and a bit of structure.....
I’m here to tell you, there’s a better way, and I wish all parents knew this secret:
Artful Teaching. Joyful Learning brings a method that intentionally blends wonder, play, and art with authentic learning…. This is the secret to at-home, enrichment learning.
This is your plan. This is your guide.

HI. I'M ALANA.
I believe children are incredibly brilliant and capable human beings, and helping parents and educators tap into their children's full potential - through an engaging, hands-on approach to learning - is my life's calling and purpose.
As a former public school teacher, I knew children deserved more, but I was locked into a rigid system, stuck in an old-fashioned model that was heavy on assessments, rigorous curriculum and efficiency.
After years of teaching, studying, reading and devouring the latest in educational research about how children learn best, earning my Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction, I developed my own homeschool enrichment program, where I applied my years of research and practical experience, and implemented a play-based curriculum.
Wonder, the Arts, Nature Exploration and Play were the cornerstones of the program,
and children’s learning flourished.
Over the years, I have helped write curriculum at the local and provincial level and have led engaging workshops for parents, teachers and community, and at the university level...all in the name of joyful learning.
My mission is to help you too become the inspiring, skilled teacher your children need and deserve, giving you a PLAN and FRAMEWORK to help you teach with ease, confidence and a splash of creativity.
