Our Approach
We believe that all education should be:
-
Fun
Children should want to come back to class, study and use what they learn in real life.
-
Convenient
No one's child should be disadvantaged because of trivial problems like time or transportation - we want to meet families where, when and how they need us.
-
Practical
We only have a few short years to teach children all we can. Let's teach our kids real skills and show them how they can be used.
Why we’re here
A message from our founder, Evan Heyliger
The seeds of Loquat Learning were sowed in 2016, in Argentina, , through cultural immersion and educational exchange. Dropped from a plane into a new culture, language and social structure, I had a steep learning curve ahead. Despite being blessed with an excellent education, I was not prepared for life beyond what I already knew. In Argentina, I learned the importance of relationships, conflict resolution, intercultural communication, and healthy stress management, subjects not covered in any school textbook.
After leaving Argentina, I spent two years studying in Spain where I discovered the value of mindfulness and self-awareness. I learned the hard way the need for financial decision-making and time management skills. The more I pondered these necessary skills for success, the more I questioned why they were never mentioned in 13 years of education. Thus, Loquat Learning was born.
My mission is to ensure that today’s children have a supplement to traditional education. That there is a way for them to learn and develop the essential life skills I wish I’d been prepared with. I have a vision for what the future of education could be, so let’s build it together. Loquat Learning was started to give you and your child a better alternative, and peace of mind knowing they’re on the right track.
