More than an online course...

A Journey of Joyful Parenting Discovery and Learning

Why the early years matter

From Birth, Your child

is already learning

Through movement, rhythm, relationship, and experience, the foundations of their mind, body, and heart are being shaped. Magnificent Parenting helps you understand what is happening, what to do, and why it matters.

A child who feels safe, understood, and connected is better equipped to:

  • Think clearly

  • Feel deeply

  • Choose well

  • Relate kindly

  • Face Challenges

  • Live with purpose

These early years are not ordinary.

They are formative in ways that cannot be repeated.

“If we are to reach real peace in this world… we shall have to begin with children.”

What Parents Are Saying

Parents trust us because they see real progress in their children. From stronger social skills to improved confidence and a genuine love for learning, here’s what families have to share.

A Joyful Family Learning Experience

“Each day of family life was made so much more enriching and enjoyable.”

“Thank you so very much Peter Rowan for opening the doors of child development and education to two parents who were able to more clearly see how we would give our baby the best of opportunities in life to become a fully competent and happy adult.

Now in his 30’s, he is a successful, loving and highly intelligent adult who is well adjusted to living in society. Although he came late to the program — at eight months old — he was reading fluently by eighteen months old and his enthusiasm to read, learn and joyfully experience life never stopped.

Our family life was enhanced and the educational and developmental program was fun for us all. Each day of family life was made so much more enriching and enjoyable.”

A Joyful Family Learning Experience

“I have watched the flourishing of Peter Rowan’s daughter through her carefully considered education.”

“As an experienced educator of children and children's teachers, I have watched the flourishing of Peter Rowan's daughter through her carefully considered, non-conventional education.

The intention of her education was to encourage wide-ranging interests as a means of developing her innate capabilities.

At the same time she learned respect, consideration and community-mindedness.

Now an adult, she is living a successful, productive and fulfilling life.

This book, Magnificent Parent, elucidates the author's values, ideas and methods of education, and is a valuable adjunct for any parent pursuing an enriched education for their child.”

Curiosity and Love of Learning That Lasts

“I have maintained my enthusiasm and curiosity for reading and learning from the youngest age.”

“Thanks to Peter, I am a well-adjusted, handsome, intelligent, competent and humble adult who has maintained my enthusiasm and curiosity for reading and learning instilled in me from the youngest age.

Thank you for making my life a success, Mr Rowan!”

“Peter Rowan’s advice is both technically correct and experientially wise.”

“As well as stressing the need for joyful learning experiences Peter Rowan emphasises the need for multisensory experiences. These points cannot be over-emphasised.

Too many parents, hoping to be excellent in their parenting, fall into the trap of loading learning with anxiety and focussing it too directly on the verbal and academic.

In the early years there is so much on every front for children to learn.

Peter Rowan’s advice is both technically correct and experientially wise.

He emphasises the interrelatedness of the emotional and physical aspects of development with cognitive (intellectual) development.”
