Hope, Learn & Play

Hope, Learn & Play Every child deserves a village that understands how they learn. We are glad you came to learn more about us! I look forward to serving you and your family! Ms.

To positively impact students and families through personalized, relationship-driven learning that builds confidence, independence, and lasting success along their educational journey About Us:

Hello, I'm Monique Harris and I welcome you to Hope, Learn & Play, a homeschooling program that offers tutoring and family support services to assist in educational and developmental needs. While working f

or the Orlando Science Center, I was responsible for creating and implementing the Virtual Preschool Connection Program and its curriculum. The process of providing virtual teaching for preschoolers is definitely a different experience, however it allowed me as a teacher to be more connected to the child's home environment and provided caregivers insight as to how their children learn and behave during school. It provided me more opportunity to assist with tips to adapt to the new normal caused by the pandemic, which has many families opting to remain in the home setting. Through continued education, professional development, and personal research, I have dedicated my life to the growth, knowledge and understanding of early childhood education and development. What the pandemic has taught us is that we are all in this together. Our approach is to give your child the tools they need but also give you, the caregiver, the support necessary to ensure their success. Monique

Helping a child build confidence doesn’t always start with a big breakthrough. Sometimes it starts with small, consistent support at home.

A few things can make a real difference:
✨ Create predictable routines
✨ Use positive, specific praise
✨ Break big tasks into smaller steps
✨ Be patient and encouraging

Children don’t all learn, process, or respond the same way. The goal isn’t to make every child fit one approach, it’s to help them discover what works for them.

At Hope Learn & Play, we support families with personalized learning strategies designed to help children grow in confidence and become stronger, more independent learners.

💬 Which of these strategies works best for your child?

Can an egg really bounce? 🥚✨

In this quick science experiment, Ms. Monique shows what happens when an egg sits in vinegar long enough for the shell to dissolve.

The vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate in the shell, leaving the soft membrane underneath intact. The result? A smooth, squishy egg that can give a tiny bounce.

Science can feel like magic when you get curious about what’s really happening.

💬 Would your child try this experiment?

Sometimes when a child says, “I don’t know,” they may understand more than they’re able to show in that moment.

It can mean the task feels too big, they aren’t sure how to begin, they’re trying to keep too many directions in their head, or they’re worried about getting it wrong.

Sometimes the first thing a student needs isn’t the answer, it’s help finding the first step.

At Hope, Learn & Play, we believe learning support should meet children where they are and help them build confidence, independence, and momentum.

💬 Have you ever heard “I don’t know” when you knew your child understood more than they were showing?

Teachers feel just like students. We all love the breaks ❤️

The Official Teacher Calendar. 📅 😅

According to the rest of the world, every month has roughly 30 days.

According to teachers... not even close.

Some months seem to pass in the blink of an eye. Others somehow contain 47 Mondays, six staff meetings, three fire drills, parent conferences, testing, grading, endless emails, and enough interruptions to make a 31-day month feel like it lasted half a year.

Then summer arrives...

You finally start relaxing.

You stop checking your email every five minutes.

You remember what sleeping feels like.

Then before you know it, someone is posting "Back to School" displays in the stores.

Kids ask some of the BEST questions. 💭✨

Some make us smile.

Some make us laugh.

And some make us stop and think, “Wait… that’s actually a really good question!” 😂

What is one question your child has asked that completely caught you off guard?

Drop it in the comments below 👇

Ms. Monique may answer your child’s question in a future video!

How does an octopus practically disappear? 🐙🌊

Ms. Monique takes us underwater to explore one of the ocean’s most amazing masters of camouflage.

Octopuses can change their color, patterns, and even skin texture to blend into their surroundings. And if danger gets too close, they can release ink to confuse a predator and swim away.

Nature is incredible. ✨

Until next time, friends — stay curious! 💜

How does an octopus become one of the best hiders in the ocean? 🐙🌊

Ms. Monique dives underwater to find out!

Octopuses can: ✨ change color
✨ change the texture of their skin
✨ blend into rocks and coral
✨ release ink to confuse predators and escape

They can even use camouflage to quietly sneak closer to their prey.

Pretty amazing, right?

Until next time, friends — stay curious! 💜
