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 ages 7 and up.
In May 2024, we officially formed an LLC, solidifying our commitment to helping homeschooling families thrive.
