Meet Laura, our educationalist
At WOPL! we believe that children learn most when they can play and explore to their heart's content. With 21 years of experience in primary education, particularly in years 1 to 4, Laura Dam knows exactly how to bring fun and development together in a natural way.
Drawing on her pedagogical expertise, we developed our three play worlds together: Water, Construction and Art. Each world sparks children's imagination, creativity and curiosity in its own way.
In addition, Laura leads the WOPL! Club and the WOPL! Camp, where children play, experiment, create and grow together under professional guidance.
