Introducing
The Happy Learning Space
The most comprehensive program to help you create an engaging and nurturing Home Learning Space for your children
Hello there, I’m Fynn.
I am an engineering graduate turned teacher, author and mother of three. I am passionate about helping parents design Learning Spaces at home because I have seen first hand what a Learning Space that is designed with your children in mind can do.
My older two children had the opportunities to attend amazing play-based preschools in California.
Whenever I walked into their classrooms, I noticed children were
- excited to explore the classroom right away
- focused on the learning activities
- engaged in creative play for hours
- confident about taking care of themselves
- happy, calm and self-sufficient
Why are Home learning spaces so important?
Think about this:
Your children spend most of their wakeful time, especially during the early years, AT HOME.
Your home environment's impact on your children’s learning and development is more profound and enduring than you imagine.
With the worldwide pandemic, children are at home for longer hours than before and creating a well-designed child-friendly home is more important than ever.
What if you could create an equally engaging and nurturing learning environment at home?
Imagine a home where
- your children’s interests are supported and encouraged, leading to deeper engagement and expanding interests
- your children have more fun learning, playing and creating than tapping the screen on their latest piece of technology
- your children get to practice practical life skills and become confident in their capacity for self-care
- you can spend more time connecting with your children and less time cleaning up an avalanche of toys
Hear from fellow parents how THis course has transformed their homes
Happy Learning Space course has changed my perspective as independent play and learning do not mean to have a big shelf, space or home. During the course, I learnt to create a simple playing and reading corner. I am definitely blown away by their reactions just with simple changes with their existing toys and books. They have never been so excited and interested even with new toys.
Overall this course is very beneficial with detailed and well organized content. Highly recommended to parents who like to find and create different learning space for their children.
One of the best decisions I have ever made for my child and myself as a mother is signing up for Fynn’s The Happy Learning Space course.
I am enlightened by how much I can enrich my daughter’s space with just the simplest of tools and materials and by making the best out of what we have (space limitations being my key concern!). I am personally enjoying the process of creating and re-creating the space together with my child as she grows and it is heartening to see how much she is enjoying and learning from this space. Thanks Fynn!🙂
I’ve reaped a great deal of knowledge from The Happy Learning Space course, from learning about the different learning corners, the important considerations for set-up, to designing each of them in a systematic and organized way. Fynn also showed us how you don’t require big spaces and a lot of new items just to create various learning corners. The content and pace was easy to follow and Fynn was very approachable when we sought clarifications and advice. What really helped was also the community of like-minded parents whom we can share and bounce ideas off one another. A course that you’ll definitely benefit from if you are a firm believer that learning environment is the third teacher!
The Happy Learning Space course is one of the best parenting courses I’ve attended!
Fynn’s lessons and coaching calls were insightful. I like how her lessons build up, from the what to the how. I also appreciate all the tips she threw in along the way, especially on displaying toys in a way that is attractive and accessible to children. In true Fynn’s style, she always considers age-appropriateness when making suggestions. I was already planning a play space revamp in my home, so this course was timely. I made use of what I learnt about learning corners from the course, to be more intentional in creating a new play space for my children.
My toddler and my husband were wow-ed by the new space!
As a first-time mum, Fynn's course really helped me to simplify the various concepts and building blocks behind creating a conducive learning space for my child.
We have since changed the way we display toys and also adopted many age-appropriate play/ learning ideas that Fynn has shared. My child engages well with these activities and also enjoys her learning area now.
We are still experimenting every day with her (my bub) as well, and I would refer to Fynn's course notes every now and then to help in redesigning the play area to facilitate her learning!
When Fynn mentioned that a thoughtful learning space intentionally created to manage play can help with these problems, I was happy and excited to learn how I could transform my home.
Though my home is still a work in progress, I’ve seen how my girl can now engage in longer periods of pretend play, even coming up with mini storylines in her head! All these with FEWER toys. The irony! What I especially liked about the course are the examples of how to implement the concepts taught. It really gave me inspiration as to how I could apply what I learnt.
Yay to fewer questions like “Can I watch TV, Mummy?” and a better learning environment for my toddler (2.5 years old) and soon-to-be toddler (9 months old)!
Your home is where your children acquire their first life experiences.
Let's make your home an engaging and nurturing one.

Hear from parents how THis course has transformed their homes
The Happy learning space course teaches you more than how to set up a play or learning room.
It introduces you to many strategies to use the environment strategically to support your child’s holistic development. The weekly Q&A sessions provided further elaboration to the concept taught and Fynn’s answers were always thoughtful and practical.
This course puts together almost everything you need to know on creating space/corners for young children to develop their creativity and independence.
Love how well Fynn communicates ideas through her lectures and bonus videos. Everything from the course materials to consultation was delivered seamlessly. Totally worth the investment cost .
I'm glad I joined this course. It set the foundation of creating learning spaces in my home.
With lifetime access, I could easily refer back to the course materials too. The personal coaching call also helped me so much in answering questions that I had for her. Fynn is so passionate about teaching others and informative through her wealth of knowledge and experiences with 3 children. Thank you for creating this course!

Door closes in
This course is for you if:
- you have children between 1 to 9 years old
- you desire a home that nurtures a love of learning, encourages creativity and builds confidence in your children
- you want your children to feel self-sufficient, competent and engaged at home
You’ve got questions, I’ve got answers.
When will the course commence?
The course will start on 1 April 2021 with a Live Kickoff Call inside our Facebook Group. The first module will be released on 2 April 2021. New modules will be released every Friday for 6 weeks.
I don’t have a big house. Can I for real, create a Learning Space in a small home?
Yes, for real! I live in Singapore, a small country that is just 0.01% the size of the US. So tell me about living with 3 kids in a small home. And I can say this with the greatest confidence: you need this course, because space is especially precious in a small home and the strategies you learn will help you maximize the value of your small space.
What age is the Learning Space designed for?
Most of the materials and principles I teach in this course are focused on designing a Learning Space for children between 1 to 9 years old.
I have a baby. Do I need to create a Learning Space now?
Yes! While you probably don’t need to set up everything now, the course will prepare you for what’s coming so that you can make informed decisions about where to invest your money and space from day 1.
How long will I have access to the course materials?
You will get lifetime access to the course materials. The learning portal along with all the videos, workbooks and resources will be available to you even after the course has ended. The Facebook group will be archived at week 8, two weeks after the end of the course. While you cannot put up a new post, you will still be able to watch the past FB lives, read the old posts and comments in the archived Facebook group.
Will I get a chance to ask questions and get feedback from you?
Yes! I will be available during my office hours, Monday to Friday, 5pm to 10pm Singapore Standard Time (SST) to answer all of your questions, so ask away in the Facebook group. Every Friday, 9.30pm SST we will also have LIVE group coaching calls, where I will give more in-depth answers to your questions.
Can’t I learn everything from the internet and figure things out on my own?
While there are many articles with tips on how to put together a play area or an art shelf, what these articles teach is only one small piece of the Learning Space puzzle. There are even more blog posts with long lists of favorite materials and toys that encourage parents to buy everything. Many parents bought toys and more toys, hoping that their children will spend hours playing independently. But the result? Their children were overwhelmed quickly and the whole house became a mess.
When their children grew up, or when siblings came into the picture, parents were lost because now these tips didn’t work anymore, and they had no idea how to adapt their home to the changing needs of their children.
You can spend all your time going through blog posts, with bits of information here and there and spend more money on toys and materials while you figure things out on your own. Or you can join my course and get my tried and tested roadmap of creating an engaging Learning Space, in just 6 weeks.
I’m a busy mom, what if I cannot catch up with the weekly videos?
I have designed the weekly content to be delivered in short bite-sized videos (between 5 to 15 minutes) for busy moms like you, to consume during any small pockets of time. You have lifetime access to the course and you can review the lessons anytime.
I want to be perfectly honest here. There may never be a better time because we, parents, are always busy. Committing time for this course NOW to change your home environment for the better is going to save you an abundance of time and money for rest of the years to come.
From this course, I learnt that learning spaces can be created in a small space, which is a big plus for me! Instead of diving into buying many many toys, I found out what types of toys are suitable for long term play and would grow with the child - save money! I learnt from the course the reasons why my child is not playing those toys on the shelf. When I made adjustments, I could see a change in the attitude in my son when he goes to his toy shelf or his reading corners. I found out learning corners are not difficult to create and I don’t need to spend a lot of money to buy expensive toys or materials, I could re-use existing materials easily available at home. After attending this course, I could easily create a simple discovery corner for my son within 10 minutes and my son smiles at the materials when he wakes up from his nap/sleep. I learnt activities which could encourage him to focus and for him to learn independence through self-care corners too.
My son spends a lot of time at my parent’s when I am at work and my parents’ feedback that my son couldn’t focus with playing as well as when he is at home. My mom observed a huge difference the way how he plays when he is at my house and when he is at my parent’s house, he could not focus and he throws his toys everywhere but he does not do that at home. Applying what I learnt from this course - I realised that his behaviour could be due to a lack of a space designated for toys or his books. I created a playing corner and reading corner for him at my parent’s house too! My parents later told me that he’s much better now, which is really encouraging to me because I did not do major changes to my parent’s house, I just shifted some stuff away and reorganised the toys in a certain manner and it worked!
I feel so lucky to attend this course because I benefitted so much from Fynn and her weekly sharing sessions and the knowledge are so useful to apply in my day-to-day life. I highly recommend this course to my friends!
Before I signed on Fynn's course, I was hesitant what it could bring me. Faced with an old house we have renovated, I decided to take the plunge so I can start right. I'm so thankful I did because Fynn has included so many different learning spaces to consider and how they can work together by using her family as an example. She is mindful of every family needs and tries her best to help you find your rhythm and space. Succinct modules make things easier to read and listen and the checklists to guide the organisation of your space. Taking just what she taught on her modules, I carved out a good space for learning and playing at the same area. I also have a calm down area and a messy sensory area created. I believe Fynn's experience and patience will be extremely helpful to find your family rhythm in creating the optimal learning space.
When Fynn announced that she is opening a class, it did not take me long to sign up. I was perplexed for some time why my 18 month old was not interested with the toys I bought for her. I really wanted to understand more, and I am glad that this course opened when I needed it. In the course, I discovered how toys and learning corners can be categorized. I applied my learnings while using the DICE design cycle, I was delighted with the responses from my child. She became more engaged with the toys displayed on the shelf. The bonus videos in the course were great, it was practical to apply, I benefited so much especially on toys rotation hacks. Now, she loves her calming corner so much and she would stay there for long flipping her books. She knows where her toys should be kept and where each book title is placed. This makes cleaning up with her easy. I guess the biggest takeaway from this course is I do not need fanciful toys; simple setups, and repurposed daily household tools can truly capture my child’s attention too!
I’ve really enjoyed Fynn’s happy learning space course. It is well organized and very do-able with the well paced and short videos that I’m able to fit into my busy schedule. I also feel well supported in the Facebook community where participants of the course shared their ideas and questions. I’m the most appreciative of q&a sessions where Fynn answers all the questions providing insightful suggestions and solutions to the problems raised. Lastly, the course is super value for money with all the bonus videos Fynn feeds us with.
