Online preschool classes built around your family's week

Three schedules, one teacher, 30 minutes at a time. Every class is live on Zoom โ€” your child singing, moving, building, and answering out loud, not watching a video.

For families who want the momentum

Every program includes

๐Ÿ‘‹ A free meet and greet before you enroll โ€” no cost, nothing to sign

๐Ÿ“‹ A pre-assessment, so I know where your child is actually starting

๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป Live 30-minute classes on Zoom โ€” always live, always me

๐ŸŒ… Morning classes, Eastern time โ€” we'll find your slot when we talk

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Flexible scheduling built around your family's week

๐Ÿ“ฑ Direct updates from me โ€” texts and photos after each class, or every couple of weeks. Your preference.

๐Ÿ“ A theme curriculum outline up front, with detailed schedules whenever you want them

๐Ÿšซ No cancellation fees. Life happens. Pause or shift as needed.

What a class actually looks like

Thirty minutes, every time, in the same shape โ€” because children this age settle in when they know what's coming.

๐ŸŽต Greeting song and check-in. Same song, every class. It's the door into the classroom.

๐ŸŽจ Interactive activities. The bulk of our time. Movement games, art with whatever's in your kitchen, stories we act out, counting things around the house. Built on the week's theme and bent toward whatever your child is currently obsessed with.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Sharing time. Five to seven minutes that are entirely theirs. They talk, I listen.

๐Ÿ‘‹ Goodbye song. Then I text you what I saw.

Every lesson is shaped around your child โ€” their level, their pace, their interests. I teach themes, but I don't teach at children.

Occasionally, we'll take a short interactive virtual field trip as a bonus โ€” and I mean interactive. We pause the whole way through to talk about what we're seeing. It's a conversation, not a video.

Class sizes stay small ๐Ÿค

One-on-one, or mini groups of two to four. That's it.

I cap myself at about ten students a week. It's not a marketing line โ€” it's arithmetic. Beyond that, I can't prep a lesson for your child specifically, and the whole thing stops working.

Discounts ๐Ÿ’ฐ

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ Sibling discount โ€” 10% off for each enrolled sibling.

๐ŸŒฑ New family discount โ€” 10% off your first month when you enroll after a meet and greet. That's $10, $18, or $28 depending on your program. Good for 30 days after we chat.

These don't stack โ€” if you qualify for both, I'll apply whichever saves you more.

Florida families: Step Up For Students ๐ŸŒด

I'm an approved Step Up For Students provider. If your family is eligible, scholarship funds can cover any of the three programs โ€” including the full cost.

If you're in Florida, bring it up at the meet and greet and we'll sort out whether you qualify.

If it's not working, say so ๐Ÿค

Some things I want in writing before you ever pay me:

No cancellation fees. Ever.

If Little Turtles isn't the right fit โ€” my teaching style, the schedule, your child's not connecting โ€” tell me. I'd rather hear it. We'll talk it through and adjust, and if it still isn't right, you get a full refund for any unused classes and as much time as you need to find something better.

No pressure, no hard feelings. Sometimes fit just isn't there. I've been doing this long enough to know that's nobody's fault.

Not sure which program? ๐Ÿข

That's the whole point of the meet and greet. Tell me about your week, your child, what you're hoping for โ€” I'll tell you honestly what I'd suggest. Sometimes that's one day a week. Sometimes it's "let's wait six months." I'll say so either way.

Book a free meet and greet

Free, casual, no commitment. Bring your little one if they're up for it.
