Who We Are
Started in 2005, Footprints of the Mind is dedicated to providing a fun, simple and exciting environment for 4-8 year olds to learn geography and encourage global awareness. The company uses interactive classroom teaching methods and is supported by internet-based tools and applications to facilitate learning and support geography education. Its Wander Our World app won a coveted Parents' Choice Foundation Spring 2012 Mobile App Award and its workshop-based Geography Enrichment program has been growing as more schools request it as part of their curriculums. Travel on Tuesday, a subscription-based website for families that want to continue cultural and global awareness at home or who cannot attend the Geography Enrichment program, features country kits with information and crafts related to specific countries. Using visual, audio and tactile exercises to stimulate the senses, Footprints of the Mind hopes to enhance a child's ability to remember and retain what they learn and develop a lifelong love for travel, cultural awareness, and global outlook.

"My children had an excellent experience with the Footprints of the Mind summer camp. Their minds were clearly engaged in the material - I would hear them talking often about things they had learned at camp. The quality of the craft projects they did was outstanding, and the kids were so proud of their work. As a parent, I appreciated the detailed communication from the camp directors. 5 stars!"
