Focusing on What Matters Most
~ Helping Children Thrive ~
Do you know what a child is really hungry for beneath core competencies, test scores or competitive measurement – as they grow with you through different stages of development and seasons of life?
At Learn Forward we are on a mission to gather parents and educators, ask powerful questions, and create an online community for encouraging meaningful conversations about what matters most to a child so we can create the conditions for thriving at home and school.
We believe what matters most is – deepening your connection, enjoying your child more and pursuing growth together. We believe everything is an opportunity to learn forward.

Learn Forward is a culmination of Karine Veldhoen’s own mothering journey, professional study, and work with thousands of children, their families and their teachers in the US, Canada and around the globe.
It’s a philosophy of human development and innovative learning model.
Learn Forward invites you to explore and deepen your understanding of what’s most important to a child through their eyes so you can use that awareness as the foundation for creating an organic learning path for them.
It starts with exploring the 5 Journeys.
WE ARE CHAMPIONS OF THE
