Sustainable Education Solutions - by Natural Born Leaders

We are passionate educators on a mission to redefine the way early childhood and primary education is offered on a global scale. 

We’ve always believed that the role of an educator is to empower every child, to celebrate them for their gifts and uniqueness, to help them discover their talents and to offer them the most enabling environments to learn to their full potential. 

However, we grew up in Eastern Europe where discipline, labels and outdated teaching approaches were our reality and this left it's mark on our lives and self-image. Our natural talents were considered a "burden" and we grew up believing we were doomed to fail. This is the very reason we promised ourselves to make a real change in the way early years education is offered to all children around the world.

 When we started our teaching career we knew we were able to work completely differently to 98% of other teachers - because we could see the world through the eyes of the child. 

We had already been working along the principles of Personalised and Experiential Learning, but we constantly met people telling us that it was not possible to achieve any results without structured teaching, without rigid frameworks, discipline, testing and the same uniform goals for all children. We knew it wasn't true!

They would tell us we were dreamers.

One September night we made a bold decision that changed our lives forever.  

We left our country and decided to learn from the best. Cut the story short, we owned and managed one of the most challenging business - our own multilingual early childhood education provision. 

And we did this in one of the most effective and at the same time the most demanding countries in the world - the United Kingdom - where a mistake can cost you losing your business, and where an unexpected inspection may appear at your setting at any time. 

Our skills and insights were recognised and we were invited to work with prestigious educational institutions to deliver training to other early years education providers, and to inspect their provision to make sure they met the requirements of the British National Standards - the EYFS.

We were even featured in the Guardian as the ones who can potentially introduce major changes in education in the UK.

Professional Experience

Our professional pathway progressed from teachers, teacher trainers and nursery and school principals, to university lecturers and assessors-evaluators in education. 

• We worked as assessors and evaluators in a few governmental projects such as the Early Years Professional Status (EYPS), National Vocational Qualifications in Child Care Learning and Development (CCLD), and National Vocational Qualifications in School Playwork. 

• We collaborated with the biggest and the most respected Higher Education institutions in the country such as the Tribal Group, Kingston University, the JGA Group, and Canterbury Christ Church University. 

• During the past 20 years we have inspected and assessed over 100 Early Childhood provisions - many of them represented the highest standards in education, whereas many were still far from it. 

Global Perspective

Our personal journey took us and our family through more than 20 countries where we lived with the locals and developed a profound perspective on the challenges of global education. 

We are  a Worldschooling Family and our children learn from living in the world. 

Sustainable Education and Living is at the core of everything we do and the pillar of our lifestyle. 

Natural Born Leaders 

We created Natural Born Leaders out of passion - we based it on our in-depth personal and professional understanding and vast experience, a mastery in the field of Early Childhood Education, and a calling to make a long-lasting change.  

Our professional insights combined with life experience give us a unique Global Perspective. We know what all children have in common, no matter the location. We also understand the local perspective of educators and what they need in order to be able to offer the same highest quality of Early Childhood Education and Care. 

We’ve put our experience and knowledge together, we've boiled it down, and we’ve created a series of powerful teacher training programs. They incorporate all key ingredients that guarantee the learning processes are highly personalised for every child, and that each child is celebrated for their uniqueness and that teachers work according to the most effective approaches that ever existed. This in turn serves as a very strong foundation for nurturing children’s natural Leadership Mindset. 

Focus on Early Childhood 

 We focus on early childhood and early primary because this is when the foundations for life are created.

Supporting Educators on a Mission

 We believe that the transformation of education can happen through passionate educators with a strong vision. 

Empowering Teachers

This is why empowering local educators, helping them activate their gifts, and equipping them with the right skillsets and tools is the key to the global and long-lasting transformation.
