Why was this Co-Op put together?

About Us: Embracing Creativity and Connection

Hello and welcome to our world! We are passionate moms of wonderful kids. Kattie - 3 little nuggets and Tricia - 2 little nuggets. We are on a mission to create a vibrant community where movement, art, and academics come together to foster social connections and lifelong friendships.

A Journey into Motherhood:

Our journey into motherhood has been a thrilling adventure, filled with love, laughter, and countless moments of growth. We met each other in Tricia's dance studio, where each child comes first. Our core morals always matched up, and we hit it off when we learned we both homeschooled our littles. As mothers, we realized the importance of providing them with a well-rounded and supportive environment that nurtures their unique talents and interests.

The Birth of the Co-op:

Driven by a deep commitment to our children's well-being, we embarked on the inspiring journey of founding a cooperative that seamlessly integrates movement, artistic expression, and academic support. The Fox Cities Circle Co-Op inspired us to create a consistent weekly co-op where our littles could have a place not just for education, but also for fostering social connections and friendships that will last a lifetime.

Our Vision:

At Minds in Motion, we believe in the power of movement to stimulate both the body and the mind. From dance and yoga to outdoor adventures, we've curated a curriculum that encourages physical activity, enhancing health and cognitive development.

Artistic expression is another cornerstone of our co-op. We celebrate creativity in all its forms, providing a safe space for kids to explore their creative talents, whether it's through painting, sculpture, or dramatic play. We aim to ignite a lifelong love for the arts.

Academic support is woven into our co-op, ensuring each child receives personalized attention to thrive academically. We understand that every child learns differently, and our dedicated team is committed to tailoring our approach to meet the unique needs of each student.

Building Lasting Friendships:

One of the driving forces behind Minds in Motion is the desire to create a close-knit community where children not only learn together, but also forge meaningful friendships. We plan to have locally organized social events, playdates, and collaborative projects to foster a sense of camaraderie among our co-op members.

Join Us on this Adventure:

We invite you to join us on this exciting adventure of learning, growth, and friendship. Together, we can create a supportive community that empowers our children to reach their fullest potential in an environment that celebrates movement, art, academics, and the joy of making lifelong friends.

Thank you for being a part of our journey!

Warm regards,

Kattie Stenson and Tricia Bayer
