Intro
Deepti Jain Co-Founder of We Skoolhouse, felt the challenge and constraints of accessing quality early childhood learning programs for children, and quickly realized she wasn’t alone. With an evident need, combined with a deeply rooted love for children and an understanding of how critical these early years are, Deepti and her partner embarked on a journey to elevate the quality of early childhood education by opening brick and mortar schools throughout NYC.
After seeing tremendous success, they recognized this demand was far greater than they initially imagined, which had them thinking, “how can we reach and support more children and families, not just at home in the United States but also globally?” and We Skoolhouse was born!
By utilizing technology as a way to partner with parents and caregivers, they have made it so that any person anywhere in the world can access high quality early childhood education, while also providing holistic care for their children, right in their very own home. They are excited to be able to support families in different and more flexible ways, whether that is in their classrooms or with them at home.
Top three takeaways
Parents know their children better than anyone. They can adapt the learning environment and curriculum to fit their child’s needs
They want you to know that homeschooling is completely doable and there are resources everywhere to guide your journey
Every family should feel empowered to make a decision that is best for their particular family, and not worry about the opinions of others who may disagree.

Lauren Bordeaux CEO and Founder of Homeschool HQ. The HomeschoolHQ app is a user-populated homeschool resource platform. The app was built by homeschoolers for homeschoolers to help build community. Users can add resources in multiple categories like co-ops, activities, camps, conventions, and field trip ideas. The app also has a Built-in location service to enable homeschoolers to find nearby resources that work for their family's needs. There is also a discount section for exclusive user discounts. Lauren started this app because after Covid, many new homeschoolers quit homeschooling due to a perceived lack of resources. However, the resources were available, they were just hard to find. So Homeschool HQ set out to build an app that appealed to new and veteran homeschoolers alike. An app that would allow homeschoolers to build the community and share all of the resources that made their homeschool journey successful!

Intro
Jane Engel CEO of Angel Educators, she started tutoring after she retired from the classroom, due to the overwhelming amount of students that were struggling with reading. As she searched for educational materials to support almost everything she found online didn't comply with the approach she learned during her training, and over the years Jane ended up making hundreds of worksheets of her own.
Unsure if this was the direction God wanted her to venture. She prayed for doors to close if this was not what she was supposed to do. Instead, God's been opening them up! The responses from followers and parents of students she's worked with directly had been so encouraging, she's been doing it ever since!
Top three takeaways
How many of their students have improved their reading scores at a rate of 2 grade levels per year.
How her work focuses on helping homeschool parents with dyslexic or struggling readers through the Orton Gillingham approach.
Working with dyslexic children is so much more than just worksheets. It requires using multiple pathways to the brain - audio, visual and kinesthetic. Help with all of these is provided in the Orton Gillingham approach & Beyond Bundle.

Intro
Tiffany Philips Founder of Learning Made Easy Publishing was inspired by the negative impact virtual learning had on young children during and since the pandemic. She believes that it’s incredibly difficult to replicate the benefits of an in-person learning environment to young kids in a digital space. After seeing how ineffective virtual learning was for young kids to grasp fundamental concepts, she started Learning Made Easy Publishing.
She thought back to her childhood, where in addition to attending traditional school, her mom was heavily involved in her early learning, encouraging her through assorted workbooks, reading with her, and testing her knowledge leading Tiffany to reap the benefits of her mom’s involvement. So, taking inspiration from the advantages her mom’s presence and the resources her mom utilized and so the Handwriting Activity Workbook was born!
Top three takeaways
Handwriting opens our brains up for learning by activating more areas of the brain than using a keyboard does.
Studies show that students retain information better when working with new ideas through handwriting than typing.
A solid foundation is the key to learning, it’s never to early to get the edge up on education!

The Handwriting Activity Workbook will be 15% off. Use code HOMESCHOOL under the ‘The Homeschool Advantage’ tab on their website.
