My Story

Teaching public school for 20 years gave me an insider’s view to the myriad of problems with the school system. I knew as my daughter approached school-age I had to find another path for her. After my own journey I realized I was the very best person to be responsible for not only her education but what made up her day to day lifestyle. Home education has given our family control over what kind of life we want to lead. I was nervous to leave my profession and take a huge leap but it was also the most exciting choice I ever made. I know my experience can help you!

What People Are Saying

  • Matt

    “Nikki’s help has been crucial. We were able to make an important pivot in our approach, with her guidance, from an anxious concern about controlling our kids, to a confident trust, respect and loving care for their personal expressions and individuality. These are our values normally, but somehow we got caught up in ideas about curricula, schedules and control, basically replicating what we don’t like about school. Nikki is knowledgeable, practical and lucid, her guidance has been essential in us tending to our kids’ education.”
