Okay, so when I think about expanded learning, both in my professional, and personal life, I think about aunts, like my aunt. Expanded Learning is like the aunt of the school day. If you’re a mom, you need a sister, you need a friend that becomes the aunt of your kids. and she's the one who helps you and make those big differences with the the small details. And that's what we do in expanded learning. We're making a difference in the teacher's life every day, because we're supporting kids in accessing fun, educational enrichment that is going to support the academic content the teachers are delivering in the day.
When I think about expanded learning, I also think about the dinner that you started eating with an ice cream instead of with the chicken, the rice and the salad? Because how important is it for us to let kids play? We are always thinking, okay, are they having fun? Are they feeling safe? And learning becomes part of it because we're providing this safe and supportive environment.
