About
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: make learning feel like play. Everything we build is secular, game-based, and made by homeschool moms.
Homeschooling is a beautiful and rewarding experience for kids and home educators, but it can also come with challenges, self-doubt, and moments of loneliness. We understand these feelings because we've experienced them too.
We are two homeschool moms who've had our fair share of difficulties, especially when it comes to finding the "right" curriculum (I can't tell you how many we've tried 🙈). Not only have we "tried them all" but we've also spent years creating different types of educational resources to fit our needs.
One thing has always had a good outcome for us — games! Therefore, we have turned our focus to creating interactive, gamified content for Grades K–3.
In May 2024, we officially formed an LLC, solidifying our commitment to helping homeschooling families thrive.

Melanie Miller | Co-Founder & Head of ConsultingCo-Founder & Head of Consulting
With over 25 years of homeschooling experience, I have dedicated my life to nurturing young learners and supporting families on their educational journeys. I began homeschooling my own children in 2000, and today I have the joy of homeschooling my grandchildren.
Along the way, I have worked in a homeschool co-op as assistant director, at church nursery as coordinator, and a pre-K center as lead teacher, giving me a well-rounded perspective on how children learn best in a variety of settings. I am passionate about coming alongside other homeschooling families as a mentor, helping them find curriculum and resources that truly fit their unique family, teaching style, and children's needs.
I also create educational resources designed specifically for homeschoolers in grades Pre-K through 3rd grade, with a focus on making learning engaging, accessible, and effective for all types of learners.
