About Us
Hi! I’m a mom who homeschooled my son, creating years of supplemental hands-on lessons to increase engagement with, and now share that experience with others as SPONGYKIDS!
When my son was in preschool his curiosity blossomed into a wide range of topics I couldn't find age appropriate material for, so to help answer his questions I began creating activities that could answer them while fostering those interests. I was amazed at how effective the hands-on activities were with absorbing information like a sponge! With his passion to learn on fire, I felt lucky to witness those moments.
Sadly, once kindergarten started, his love of learning declined sharply. I decided it was time to homeschool him. I took the hands-on activities we used as supplements and built a full curriculum that would become the foundation of Spongykids. I was so happy to see my son re-engage and enjoy learning again. A strong performance in his middle school years proved the lessons work!
However, planning all of those activities and materials for each subject every day was such an overwhelming amount of work! When we finished, I had a library of original material I'd invested a lot of time into developing for him but wasn't sure what to do with. Realizing the resource I wish had existed when I began did exist now because I created it, inspired me to refine and share it with others! We wish all families and kids good luck on their learning adventure!
