I’d love to support you all more and see you all sharing how you can help each other! On my end, I’m building an app called microschool in a box and I’m so excited to launch it soon! Think operations, ESA research, compliance, school HQ, resources, community, financial modeling, grant tracking, student tracking, parent communication and so much more! Taking apps for beta testers now! Book a call with me to see if it’s a good fit for you. https://calendly.com/consulting-with-heather/microschool-hybrid-homeschool-founder-consulting

Would love to know where everyone is at! Please comment your biggest “stuck” point too if you feel comfortable to share! We would love to help you get unstuck!

Today feels like a good day to say this out loud… What you’re building matters more than you probably realize on the hard days. Every family who finds you, every child who finally feels seen, every moment a learner says “I get it now” or “I actually like learning” … that’s real impact. Starting and running a microschool takes courage. It takes heart. It takes showing up even when things are uncertain, messy, or slower than you hoped. I just want you to know I see the work you’re doing, and I’m really glad you’re here in this community. Drop one win from this week below, big or small. Let’s celebrate each other a little today.

Good morning from a snowy and frozen DFW ❄️ My name is Silviya, and I am so grateful to be part of this group. To be honest, it took me some courage to finally introduce myself. I am in the very beginning stages of opening a small microschool for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade. I recently created a Facebook business page and am planning to send a survey to local community groups to better understand interest and needs in the area. One of my biggest questions right now is this: Should I register the microschool as a private school so families can apply for Texas School Choice funding once it launches? If anyone has experience in this area, I would greatly appreciate any advice you could share. I would truly appreciate any insights or experiences you are willing to share - I am really thankful to learn from you all.
