A homeschool learning center is a safe comfortable place which provides children access to an alternative educational option as they enjoy the company of other independent learners. For us, we operate our learning center from our family home which has been set up in numerous ways to support learners.

All children enrolling with us must submit a Letter of Intent to Homeschool to their local district. We are happy to provide an example of this letter upon request and can guide you through the process!

All of our programs are ‘drop off’ programs. Parents drop children off in the morning for the start of the program and pick them back up in the afternoon at the end of the program.

Our program for the ‘25 - ‘26 school year is geared towards children working between a 1st and 6th grade level. Ages may vary depending on skill level.

We have a few different options for the upcoming year which include weekly attendance of:

2 Days (Mon./Tues. OR Wed./Thurs.)

4 Days (Mon. - Thurs.)

5 Days (Mon. - Fri.)

Our program will take place Monday - Friday, 9am - 3pm, for the months of September through June.

2 Day Program: $3,000 Tuition

4 Day Program: $5,500 Tuition

5 Day Program: $6,500 Tuition

Tuition is split up into 10 monthly payments which are due at the beginning of each month from September through June.

We are an approved direct pay vendor and are happy to accept EFA funds as tuition payment. We will provide you with invoices which you can then submit in ClassWallet under ‘direct pay’ to initiate your payment.

Homeschooling, whether at your home or at our center, is a bit different than public or mainstream education. Children are required by law to learn various subjects but homeschool laws only specify that they need to be learned or taught at some point during the child’s overall education. They do not all need to take place every day or even every year.

Our program covers the major subjects (Math, ELA, Science, History Geography) and also incorporates Art, Nature Study, Survival Skills, Beginner Spanish and also Cooking! Fridays are reserved for special interest learning, additional time for unfinished projects, and strengthening weak subject areas for individual children.

The planned weekly schedule for 2025 - 2026 includes:

Monday: Nature Study / ELA / Cooking

Tuesday: Nature Study / History / Survival Skills

Wednesday: Nature Study / Math / Art

Thursday: Nature Study / Science / Social Studies

Friday: Special interests, extra project time, additional support for subjects needing work.

We will occasionally be using screens as tools to view short video clips or to access other online content that supports our daily topic.

We are open to children utilizing online learning tools for subjects such as Math or ELA, since children advance in these areas at very varied rates. The individualized nature of the online tools allow children who need extra time to hang back and those who are ready to jump ahead to also do so.

If you would like your children to utilize these tools (Prodigy Math/ELA, Reading Express, Khan Academy, Duolingo, etc.), you will be responsible for providing a suitable device for your child to access them.

We do have math workbooks and a physical Language Arts curriculum we will be working through, should you desire your child to not use screen time for these. Personally, we feel a combination of both is helpful to children.

Our program will follow a loose daily rhythm where we have more of a “flow” as opposed to a strict time centered schedule.

A typical day for us might look like:

Free Play

Nature Study

Snack Break

Subject 1

Outdoor Time

Lunch Break

Subject 2

Group Games

Free Play

We are happy to offer before and/or aftercare on a case by case basis for an extra fee to those parents whose work hours would make our regularly scheduled pick up and drop off times difficult. Please email us and let us know your needs- We are happy to provide a quote and feel that our fees are very reasonable!

We have a 6 child per day maximum for children enrolled in our programs.

No, PeaPod Place is completely independent and in no way affiliated with any other learning pod type business or program that currently exists.

As we run our programs from our home, we feel that we should address any potential allergy concerns up front.

Animals: We are a pet-friendly home and have several animals including a small dog, guinea pig, hedgehog and various small reptiles residing indoors. Outdoors, we have three miniature pet pigs and also ducks.

Food: We have gluten, peanuts, tree nuts and other allergens present in our home. If your child has food allergies, we will do our very best to avoid cross contamination but unfortunately cannot guarantee it.

If you have further allergy concerns, please reach out to us with additional questions.

Send us an email to request our enrollment packet.

In addition to the enrollment packet, you will be sent a separate invoice for an initial (non-refundable) tuition deposit (5% of the total program tuition).

This deposit reserves your child’s spot in our program. The deposit amount will be applied to the first months tuition payment due in September.

Please don’t ever hesitate to email us with questions! We are happy to provide you with information and assist you in the process.
