Hi,
I’m Sam!

About me and Kurios Oasis

I am an early childhood practitioner and graduate student specialising in Constructivism (Inquiry-Focused Learning) at Portland State University. Welcome to Kurios Oasis! ☺

KO Playdates

For children between 3-7

At our playdates, children engage in free play. Free play is pleasurable, cathartic, relaxing, and controlled by the player. Play puts you in flowwhere the person experiences deep enjoyment and experiences relentless persistence, working on a task until they are fully satisfied.
