Summary
What does it take to build a learning community rooted in support, opportunity, and love? Entrepreneur-In-Residence Kym Kent speaks with educator and entrepreneur Tatiana Alexander about founding the SOL Learning Center , a small, mixed-age co-learning community operating from a backyard yurt in Clinton, Maryland. Tatiana shares how the center combines project-based learning, flexible academic options, family involvement, and community partnerships to serve homeschooling families. She also discusses the SOL Freedom Fund, her efforts to make alternative education more financially accessible, and her advice for parents and education entrepreneurs: seek support, start small, serve your neighbors, and choose collaboration.
