Wildflower’s 70+ Microschools, Eight Years Later: Did Matt's Vision Become Reality?
This week on Microschool Journeys, Curious Mike sat down with Matt Kramer, founder and CEO of Wildflower Schools, a national network of teacher-led Montessori microschools. How does he take a teacher who dreams “Maybe I should have my own little school”- and make that a reality?

Tune in for this fascinating conversation!
