I’m also holding virtual open house info sessions this week⁠ if you want to meet me, hear more and ask questions.

I’m also finalizing our fees for a September/early October start. Pricing is probably the hat I’m least comfortable wearing. 😂 I want to honor the real value that goes into what we create for our young people while still making LEAF accessible to families.

So if you have a few minutes, visit the site and take our family survey. I have spent many, many late nights thoughtfully building that space myself, and knowing it’s reaching the families it was created for means soooo much to me.

When you connect with LEAF, we really do become homies and family.

I love our Creatives. I love you guys. And being able to use what I know in service of our young people is really one of my happiest places to be. 💛🌱

NC ESA+ Families can now use their grants for the Arts! Will you take our survey? 🎨

Thank you for helping us thoughtfully shape what comes next for LEAF CoLearning Collective. This should take about 5 minutes. Your responses will help us make decisions about location, schedule, program duration, pricing, and how LEAF can best serve our families.

Sometimes…you really have be impact and passion driven while following the breadcrumbs that you led you where you are today, silence the inner critic, and leap!

Ideas need space, courage, time, and community to grow, and LEAF CoLearning Collective is taking a BIG LEAP and stepping into its next chapter. 🌱

FINALLY! ITS HERE!
With North Carolina ESA+ now including eligible visual arts instruction, LEAF has applied to become an ESA+ provider for visual arts instruction!!! Now our LEAF family can grow to reach more families!

Before I decide what this next offering should look like, (location, days of the week, duration, and fee) I’d really love to hear from interested ESA+ and non/ESA+ families. 🌱❤️

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘁 10 𝗔𝗠, I’m inviting a small group of ESA+ homeschool parents to join me for a relaxed LEAF Thought Partner Conversation.

I want to hear what your family needs, how you use ESA+ funds, what makes an educational experience feel worth it, and what you wish existed for your young person, because we will be new to this ESA+ world.

Students ages 10+ are welcome to come. I’ll have free art materials, looms, and space available for them to create independently while we talk.

Location TBA based on signups so we can choose a mutually convenient Charlotte area location.

𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 “𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗙” 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗦… (if you’re a non-ESA+ family you are welcome to come to the meetup, as well.)
