  • Bright Minds Learning Academy welcomes families enrolled with homeschool charter schools. We are currently in the process of applying to become an approved vendor with several local charter schools, which may allow families to use their charter educational funds toward tuition for our program. If your family is enrolled with a charter school and would like to use charter funds, please contact us directly so we can prioritize the vendor application process with your school. Many charter schools allow families to allocate funds toward academic enrichment programs like Bright Minds Learning Academy once vendor approval is completed.

  • This program operates as an educational enrichment service for homeschool families and is not a licensed childcare facility.

  • Our maximum class size is 10 students.

    This allows for individualized attention while maintaining collaborative learning.

  • My teaching style is relational and hands-on. I believe children learn best when they feel known, safe, and engaged. Inspired by whole-child approaches — including Waldorf rhythm, Montessori independence, and outdoor exploration — I blend thoughtful structure with creativity. Each day follows a predictable flow with clear expectations, offering both security and space for curiosity, movement, and imagination.
