Research Core
The Research core, coming in 2013, will provide a formal research framework for the continuous analysis, evaluation and improvement of our Natural Learning Rhythms pedagogy. It will provide continual refinement, innovation and direction for replicating the EnCompass Institute learning model while offering suggestions for program refinements and sharing results with families, scholars, policy–makers and the public.
The Research Core will also be a place for student from local universities to research and understand what we do at the EnCompass Institute and how we use the Natural Learning Rhythms approach to Human Development.

EnCompass has spent 25 years developing, teaching, and field testing ways to bring to awareness the needs and capacities of children. Ba and Josette Luvmour have developed Natural Learning Rhythms (NLR), an understandable and applicable approach to child development that describes in detail the psychological, emotional and physical components of optimal well-being and how these emerge within each stage of childhood.
