About Lauren Boyle

Lauren has been interested in child development for the entirety of her adolescent and adult life. She mentored and tutored children throughout her time at Westlake High School in Austin, Texas. Upon entering The University of Texas at Austin, she became a nanny for a family with four children. As an English major and Education minor, Lauren formally studied child development, child psychology, children’s literature, visual art studies, as well as learning and motivational development at both UT and The University of California at Los Angeles. After receiving her BA from UT in 2006, she furthered her studies through graduate work at The University of Sussex in England and is currently pursuing her Masters in Education. During her time in school and through her student teaching experiences in early childhood, elementary, middle and high school classrooms, Lauren realized her interest in helping children discover their creative abilities outside of the traditional curriculum.After returning from graduate work in England and traveling in Europe, Lauren spent time in Beaver Creek, Colorado. The area attracts people from around the globe, which created an intriguing atmosphere. Inspired by people, experiences and a passion for learning and sharing, Lauren decided to return home to Austin to establish a program that would lead children through different avenues of creative expression, in the classroom and the world beyond. The combination of creativity, an insatiable curiosity for world cultures and a profound love of nature seemed to be a wonderful embarkation point for an educational program. Lupine Lane is the realization of Lauren’s thoughts and ideas, with which she will assist children in exploring the creative world.
