Overview
Our Mommy and Me Learning Pod is a weekly class designed for children ages 3–5 and their caregivers. Each session provides a gentle introduction to school readiness through hands-on activities, sensory play, music and movement, early literacy, and social development.
With new monthly themes to spark curiosity, children practice fine motor skills, early math, listening, and cooperation in a nurturing, small-group setting.
Whether you’re easing into homeschooling or simply looking to support your child’s early growth, this class offers the perfect balance of play and purpose to meet your child’s unique needs.
“Fridays have become our favorite day of the week! My daughter wakes up excited to see her friends, sing songs, and do crafts. But what I didn’t expect was how much I would grow too—as a mom and as my child’s first teacher. The Learning Hive’s Mommy and Me Pod is the sweetest start to our homeschool journey.”
— Olivia M., first-time homeschool mom
