These are specially designed yurts that are engineered to create a safe and comfortable sanctuary for learning while providing all of the necessary tools, learning materials, and comforts of a modern teaching facility. Childhood and the magic of play have been systemically devalued for most of modern American history as rigid pedagogies took the place of traditional tribe and community-based childcare.
