🎉  Kate McAllister shares her extraordinary journey from a traditional educator in the United Kingdom to the founder of a worldschooling education center, The Hive, in the Dominican Republic. She sold everything to travel with her daughter, only to find herself "stuck" in the Dominican Republic at the start of the pandemic. They’ve now built their home rooted in community and nature!

🌎 Her educator background inspired her to create The Hive. The program's core philosophy is built on a self-regulation cycle for children and project-based learning with a social impact.

👍  The Hive offers a signature six-week changemaker program, summer marine biology camps and a year-round membership for families seeking a grounded home base.

ACTIONABLE TIPS:

  • Don't wait for perfect conditions to start your journey. "Do it scared, do it underprepared... just do it."
  • Put down roots for an extended period to allow for deeper immersion in the local culture, strong community connections, and a sense of stability.
  • Before expecting academic learning, help children develop self-awareness and nervous system regulation. 
  • Notice how you feel and use tools like breathing or taking a walk before you react.
  • Instead of being "knocked over by the wave" of a strong feeling, learn to recognize it coming and ride it with conscious control.
  • Embrace a low cost, nature-rich lifestyle to both save money and enjoy your surroundings.
  • Make your time with family and friends back home precious and intentional by scheduling long, focused visits.
