About us

Founded in 2012 by educators Beatriz Cardoso and Andrea Guida Bisognin, the Education Laboratory develops methodologies based on academic research so that all children can reach their learning potential. We implement and monitor projects with professionals from public schools, families and the community.

Our cause

Children learn all the time and everywhere, so we defend the cause: Every Child Can Learn. And if every child can learn, we at the Education Laboratory believe that every adult has the responsibility to educate! Our conviction that learning is a continuous process that permeates every moment of children's lives leads us to invest in the adults who live with them. The solutions we propose cover different stages of child development and stand out in the Brazilian educational scenario, as they help adults to productively mediate children's interactions with the world, in order to expand their cognitive and intellectual universe. In this way, the work of the Education Laboratory aims to collaborate in the creation of contexts that offer children possibilities to develop based on meaningful learning.

Strategy and form of action

Seeking to raise awareness among adults about their important role in children's learning processes, we use the following strategies through which we translate, integrate and materialize scientific knowledge produced by specialists, making it applicable in everyday situations:

We develop platforms that bring together specific content on language development, respecting the evolutionary process of children and the challenges that each age group presents. Through websites, books, training materials and apps, we provide access to theoretical references and practical suggestions, offering means for adults to promote meaningful interactions in order to collaborate with the enrichment of everyday situations, inside and outside of school. Our platforms are free and open, as it is the Education Laboratory's intention to democratize and make accessible the knowledge that contributes to children's learning.
Through special projects, in partnership with institutions focused on the learning of children aged 0 to 10, we implement the content of the Education Laboratory platforms. Our transformation strategy is in the training process of professionals who already work in formal and informal education contexts, qualifying their practices. To this end, we develop solutions adapted to the needs of each agent, individual or collective, who fulfills the role of learning mediator, inside and outside the school.

The contents of the Education Laboratory are based on academic research, but they are also starting points for the production of new knowledge in areas related to our work.
