Stork was born from the shared vision of two psychologists, Maria do Carmo and Alice, united by their passion for childhood and education.
Maria do Carmo, an educational psychologist with experience in schools and private practice, has supported children and families through emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges. She grew up in the countryside, where she developed a strong belief that play is the true language of childhood — a principle that continues to guide her work today.
Alice’s path led her to explore how neuroscience can inform learning, designing well-being programs based on mindfulness and social emotional development. She worked with the United Nations and, as a mother, felt the need to create the kind of space she
wished for her own children.
Together, they created a space where children grow with freedom, safety, and, above all, time to simply be children.
