Wave of the Future Coop started as a pandemic- era pod for local families in Seaview, WA, tucked between the woods and sea. Focused on education, community, craft, and environment, Wave of the Future offers a Covid- conscious community, small staff to child ratios, and a focus on learning outdoors through a child- led, play- based lens. We are passionate about connecting children to the outdoors, having a connection to food, and melding traditional skills with modern resources.
