About Learning Circles

There is no clear beginning or endpoint to curiosity, learning, or connection. The name Learning Circles reflects the rhythmic nature of that journey.

Our story

Founded by homeschooling parents of young children with professional backgrounds in therapy and education, Learning Circles was created to provide accessible social-emotional learning enrichment within the community. Rooted in therapeutic-informed practices and creative, nature-centered learning, Learning Circles supports families in nurturing emotional regulation, feelings identification, and meaningful relationships in everyday life.
