His innovative compositions often defied the conventions of traditional harmony and form, earning him recognition as a pioneer of musical impressionism.

🎻 🎹 Debussy's works, such as "Clair de Lune," "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun," and "La Mer," are characterized by their evocative, atmospheric qualities, vivid imagery, and use of rich harmonies and colorful orchestrations. He drew inspiration from various sources, including literature, visual arts, and Asian music, to create a unique and expressive musical language.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), a seminal figure in American literature and philosophy, championed transcendentalism—a movement emphasizing individual intuition, self-reliance, and a profound connection with nature. Renowned for essays like "Self-Reliance" and "Nature," Emerson encouraged people to trust their inner wisdom and break free from societal conformity. A lecturer, essayist, and poet, his works, including "The American Scholar" and "Divinity School Address," left an enduring impact on American thought, inspiring generations to embrace individualism and seek harmony with the universe. Emerson's profound insights continue to resonate, shaping the intellectual and cultural landscape of the United States.

An equinox is a celestial event that occurs twice a year, during which the Earth's axis is neither tilted away from nor towards the Sun. This results in nearly equal lengths of day and night, creating a momentary balance between daylight and darkness. The two equinoxes, one in spring and one in autumn, mark the transition between the seasons and are important astronomical milestones.

Our Story

As with any good idea, we started with one thought, “PayPal® for childcare providers.” Together we started researching. We talked to providers and parents and listened to their real life issues—issues that went beyond our initial idea. We took that information, researched the competition, looked at a lot of data and began to dream of a different kind of parent website. A place where parents and providers could meet, connect and organize the information they both need. Thus was born littleSonder. sonder: n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.
