Our Teachers

Anni is a mother who homeschooled her own children from K-12. She has first hand experience nurturing a child’s natural curiosity and is passionate about creating a supportive and safe environment for your children. She believes in treating them like family and leveraging her decades of hands on teaching experience to provide them with a strong foundation for their early years.

Philosophy

We strive to create a safe and happy environment where children can explore and develop their confidence in who they are. We adapt our teaching methods to suit their individual learning styles and preferences. Instead of one size fits all approach, we provide flexible teaching methods, tools and activities.

Location

Located close to Leslie, Michigan, near the Leslie School District.

About our program

Our fun and interactive play-based learning approach combines early math concepts and reading into our daily routines. We use real-life objects to make learning more concrete and relatable.
