PROGRAMS OFFERED
Jr. Discovery
The engaging hands-on Kindergarten readiness pathway is designed for four year olds, and young five year-olds who would benefit from an additional year of preschool before entering kindergarten. Our teachers encourage individual independence which ensures students will have a smooth transition into kindergarten. Activities and lesson plans are customized to each student, based on each child's needs. Students begin to develop good writing habits, strengthen their number sense, develop social and emotional skills, and gain foundational literacy skills, among other vital skills.

Learning Pods
This reinvention of the one-room schoolhouse, comprised of a mixed-age level grouping (typically Kinder/1st grade), provides engaging lessons to strengthen core academic skills, along with empowering students to take thoughtful risks, engage in experiential learning, persist in problem-solving, embrace collaboration, and work through the creative process. New information is introduced and reinforced through multi-sensory learning experiences that encourage discovery through playful exploration, teacher-guided investigations, questioning, direct instruction and discussion.
The engaging instructional activities promote social, emotional, physical, cognitive, creative and leadership development, so your child is prepared to take on elementary school and beyond.​
Homeschool Enrichment
Our Weekday Afternoon Enrichment Sessions are designed to complement your child's homeschool journey by offering a dynamic and engaging environment where they can socialize, collaborate, and explore hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities. Our sessions provide a space for homeschoolers to experience the benefits of group learning while still embracing the individualized focus of their home education. These sessions are perfect for families seeking meaningful, engaging experiences that enrich their child's academic and social development.

FUN Fridays
Our STEM + Art Enrichment program, specially designed for the K-2nd primary grades, explores the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and more! Allow your child's school year to come alive with hands-on activities, experiments, team coding challenges, and educational experiences that will keep them engaged and excited about learning!
The a la carte classes are designed to be educational and fun!
As with all classes, they are intentionally small to provide students more attention, create a more personable experience, provide guidance in areas of interest or need, as well as being a social outlet.

What our Kinder Pod parents are saying:
What our Kinder Pod parents are saying:
"Kinder Pod was the absolute best decision that I have made for my kindergartener. Due to the small class size, Jada was able to identify the needs of my child. She worked primarily with her to create my daughter's optimal learning environment. I have witnessed so much growth academically, and do not feel like my child is just 1 of 20 kids in a bigger school. The foundation that Jada has taught my daughter will ensure success when she enters elementary school next year. Also, the excitement from Jada about education really shines into the children she teaches and you can honestly see that this is a passion and not just a job. My daughter begs to go to Kinder Pod every single day. She is not only learning past kindergarten level, but she's having such a great time doing it. From a parent standpoint, Jada provides everything that an Elementary school has plus more!"
