Holistic Education Taught By Bachelor Qualified Teachers!
You are your child’s greatest teacher during the first seven years—we believe that with our knowledge of early childhood education—together we can create an extraordinary beginning to your child’s education.
A holistic beginning to your child’s education has been shown to significantly enhance a child’s ability to think differently, create, inquire, wonder, self-regulate, collaborate & be aligned with who they really are.

A little more about the Holistic Home Experience Guides.
Each guide has the following sections for simple implementation.
Teaching Intention –– with research based learning outcomes.
Gather List — exactly what you need for each experience.
Step by Step Process — how to complete the experience.
Holistic Engagement — teacher guided steps on how to engage your child in a holistic manner during the experience.
Questions to Ask — open ended questions to prompt higher order thinking & inquiry during the experience.
Mindful Prompts — simple prompts for your child to become more mindful when learning.
No child should have to feel like they don’t ‘fit the mould’—each child is a unique being & how we nurture that is more important than any set of outdated ‘milestones’.
We believe in taking each child beyond the milestones...
The research says wait until 7!
Starting children in formalised education settings before the age of seven has been shown to be of no benefit to a child’s long term learning capabilities, including reading or writing skills (Suggate, Schaughency, Reese, 2013). Early starts also affect a child’s emotional wellbeing including their ability to self-regulate.
Not only does formalised schooling prompt a disinterest for learning, Dr Thalia Goldstein Assistant Professor from Pace University says it also proves difficult for a child to retain their natural sense of creativity & wonder once they attend a standard classroom setting.
But I'm Not a Teacher?
We are & so we’ve taken this into careful consideration & designed the program with this in mind. Studies have shown that the quality of your home learning environment is more important than parental occupation, education or income when it comes to the intellectual, emotional & social development of your child (The Effective Provision of Pre-School Education (EPPE) Project, 2004).
In other words the quality of the experiences you involve your child in at home & in the community impacts your child’s development, rather than your own level of education during their early years.

Your Child's Identity & Purpose Awaits
Rather than a passive approach to learning Holistic Beings™ educates the mind, body & spirit through hands-on exploration. This means that each & every experience has your child creating, playing & doing—which is how they really learn.
Whether this is the start of your home education journey, preparation to begin school or just about a more holistic way of life—every child has unlimited potential & can be organically nurtured toward finding their identity & purpose in life!
Your Teachers
Whole Beings® was founded by two sisters, both registered teachers, whose vision is to ignite children with a powerful sense of who they are, whilst embracing their naturally creative minds & spirits.
Two teachers began this journey after a combined 32 years of experience in early childhood, completion of bachelor degrees & postgraduate studies, which left them wanting to be more than just focused on academic tuition. They turned to where their own grass roots were, with beliefs that the mind, body and spirit of each child should be nurtured & that one doesn’t exist without the other.
Researching & innovating in the holistic education field is their life's work & with a social purpose that includes every child, no matter where they are from–Whole Beings® has a vision without bounds!
Our community of holistic-minded folk can interact online directly related to the content, which will be moderated by teachers. We don’t ever want you to feel alone on this journey!
