The autonomy for the kids! The way they have already risen to the challenge of becoming their best selves.

It is such a joy to see these successes in each of my students' lives, and I love being a Prenda Guide.

Instead of allowing others to take the reins of my children's education, I got involved guiding it. I love Guiding!

Parents and I have to convince them to go home! My students are so motivated to learn. Education is fun again.

I love that I could stay home with my boys, enjoy Fridays off for family time, and still work in my calling.

In early December, we made the jump, and I started a microschool with my own two children and four others.

One of my students struggled in many different education models. In my class, I loved watching her thrive!

My first year with Prenda was so incredible. My students all want to be here and I love getting paid to be me.

I absolutely love the positive and empowering culture that is taught and supported through all aspects of Prenda.

As a previous homeschool parent, I know the stress of choosing curriculum and making sure you have it figured out.

For about four years, I worked in public education as a paraprofessional in a special needs program for students.

Prenda was an answer to prayer for our family in many ways and I love how I can incorporate wellness in my class.

I am a mom of four and a current Prenda guide. We enjoy time outside every day and love to learn in a creative way.

"I love my life! I love what I do! I love my empowered students and the community of families in our microschool!
