After all, it’s only 8am and you’ve already…
If it was up to them, the day’s itinerary would be:

So, while you know that kids learn best through play, you can’t quite imagine how to translate your child’s natural curiosity and boundless energy into learning how to:
If you’re one of the 8.5 million+ families in the US, UK, and Canada with children who have special needs, the concerns multiply.

You can raise smart, successful, creative, well-rounded kids.
Kids who love learning.

I believe children are incredibly brilliant and capable human beings, and helping parents and educators tap into their children's full potential - through an engaging, hands-on approach to learning - is my life's calling and purpose.
As a former public school teacher, I knew children deserved more, but I was locked into a rigid system, stuck in an old-fashioned model that was heavy on assessments, rigorous curriculum and efficiency.
After years of teaching, studying, reading and devouring the latest in educational research about how children learn best, earning my Masters of Education, I developed my own homeschool enrichment program, where I applied my years of research and practical experience, and implemented a play-based curriculum.
WONDER, the ARTS, NATURE and PLAY were the cornerstones of the program,

Advanced Training: Wonder-Learning. How to use your child’s interests and curiosities across the curriculum
This curriculum is based on universal values such as kindness, generosity, honesty and responsibility. While it is a secular curriculum, faith-based elements can be easily incorporated into the activities.
All children are capable. My approach is one of inclusivity, so no matter the age, learning style, developmental or cognitive ability, the curriculum is one that address the whole child, and is easily adapted.
The problem with traditional curricula is the heavy focus on paper-pencil/seat-work tasks. All learners are experiential, and learn by doing, experiencing and reflecting on experience. This curriculum is designed for all children to achieve success.
The curriculum has its roots in a Reggio-Inspired approach to early learning. One that sees children as highly capable, with an innate desire to learn. This approach is based on a Constructivist stance, that children actively make meaning of their world through experience, social interaction and reflection.
That said, rich literature and outdoor exploration {Charlotte Mason}, as well as invitations to learn {Montessori}, and following the child's lead {Unschooling} all play a big part in this curriculum as well.
We believe in Artful Teaching. Joyful Learning. We believe in this pedagogy.
We believe it will transform how you homeschool, and give you the tools and confidence for a long, fruitful homeschool journey.
We stand by this curriculum, and offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
In order to be eligible for the 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee, you must submit proof that you've given the currriculum a try. If you've gone through at least ONE MONTH of your curriculum, and feel that it's not working for you or your family, simply share the work you've done with your children within the first 30 days of purchase, and we'll refund your fees.
A refund on downloadable/digital products {like this full curriculum} is unheard of in this industry. We are so confident in our program, we stand by it 100%.
It’s impossible to “redo” the wonder-years of childhood because, as much as we’d like, we haven’t figured out how to turn back the clock and make kids be 4, 5, and 6 again.
Making the most of a child’s curiosity-driven “why?” stage is a time limited opportunity. Once those early years are gone, they’re gone.
If you were going to make an investment that had proven returns, you would want to do it as soon as possible to make the most of compounding interest.
The Artful Teaching. Joyful Learning curriculum and companion course is an investment in your child’s education that is proven to instill a deep love for learning that will extend well beyond the early years.
There’s a reason that schools like St. Annes in NY and Cassidy School in LA charge $15,000+ for play-based early childhood education — the programs are keenly attuned to the way children learn best. For only $295, you can provide your child with the same quality of education right in your home.
Give yourself and your child the gift of learning through wonder, the arts, nature and play.
You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. With Artful Teaching. Joyful Learning, you will get the support and resources you need to be the inspiring, skilled homeschooler your child deserves.
