Hi, I’m Kim
I am a wife and a mom to 5 kids ages 8-19. I have lived in Carlsbad for over 30 years and over 20 in my current home in the Rancho Carrillo neighborhood. I am a credentialed teacher, a family childcare licensee and operate a homeschool/microschool for grades K-2 in my home.
In the past my children have attended the local public schools, where I spent many hours as a volunteer. When covid hit in March of 2020 and the schools closed down my first grader dreaded getting on zoom calls and it was a struggle to get him to focus and engage. I knew this would not work and when the next school year came and schools were still closed I knew I would need to homeschool. At the same time my other son was about to start kinder, an important year for socialization and learning how to be in school. I wanted him to have an experience that was natural without plexiglass or closed playground equipment. I didn't want him to think that's how school is suppose to be. Already having my childcare license and teaching credential I decided to create my own school not only for my own children, but those in the community looking for something similar.
My eyes have now been opened to the different options we have available to us for educating our children. The students are loving our new school and thriving. They have become like a little family. There are so many benefits to our tiny school, from a short 3 hour day, 1/2 the cost of private, 6:1 ratio, safe environment, quick drop off/pickup, cozier environment, and more that I have decided to keep the school open indefinitely.
You’ll find my rates (less than $10 an hour, $475 ($500 starting Fall 2023) tuition a month) affordable. This includes a 3 hour session with all subjects being taught.
I would love to have you join us!
