Having good vibes all the time 🙌🏻(some photos and videos are from previous weeks😅)

Our helper is busy babysitting the birds while Ms. Katie builds quarter one lessons!

We are so excited for classes to start August 12th!

Ms. Kitty is BACK!

One of my most favorite teaching placements was K-3 Resource Room. I was affectionately called Miss Kitty with their sweet mispronunciations. I believe the Lord knew this is my gifting and Blessed me with an incredible group of kids for the upcoming school year.

Makes my teacher heart pitter patter with the little gifts, sweet hugs, “yours my favorite teacher”, and the drawn out Nooooo when parents come for pick up.

I loved my middle school classes but this is just a special time for me and exactly what I needed to breathe some magic and wonder into my day!

While we don’t explicitly teach christianity and never theology, this learning community is facilitated in a Christian home. I believe this is my ministry, being the hands and feet of Yeshua to our small children as they begin to learn and understand this great big world but that also includes all religions and cultures.

I’m so grateful for this important work! Please keep following us and soon we will have a full board and nonprofit status to serve this alternative educational community.

We have one opening on Wednesday still available! Fall classes start the week of August 12th!

The article highlights the emergence of microschools as a niche education sector catering to students with disabilities, particularly autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. It discusses how families, like the Balbaughs, are turning to microschools after traditional private and public options fell short. Microschools offer individualized learning plans and flexible accommodations, often surpassing what larger institutions can provide.

It is important to note with universal Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) here in Arizona, and the rise of microschools, PLEASE parents do your due diligence in ensuring you are receiving HIGHLY QUALIFED EDUCATORS for the specific needs of your child.

Here at EmberWise we are CERTIFIED ELEMENTARY AND SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS, who hold current finger print clearance, first aid/CPR, and Youth Mental Health First Aid!
