Kindness isn’t extra. It’s essential. And your family is capable of so much good.

Deep kindness takes courage and it starts when our kids are little.

I believe kindness changes everything.

I’m a mom, educator, and kindness advocate. I created Team Kind Humans to give families the tools and encouragement to raise kids who are not just smart — but also deeply kind and courageous.

For over a decade, I’ve worked with children and families, combining what I know about education with what I believe about empathy, activism, and love.
Now, I’m bringing that to your kitchen table.

If you’ve ever wondered “How do I help my kids care?” or “Where do I even start?” — you’re in the right place.

Because kids aren’t just the future — they’re the right now.

In a world that’s noisy, fast-paced, and often overwhelming, it’s easy to feel like kindness isn’t enough.

But I believe kindness is the start of everything.
It’s the seed of courage. Of advocacy. Of community. Of love.

When we give kids space to learn about the world, ask hard questions, and do something — they grow into humans who know how to listen, lead, and care.

That’s the heart behind everything I create.

KindSchooling: Real learning. Real kindness. Real impact.

KindSchooling is a philosophy that blends learning with purpose.

It taps into what kids naturally love — like art, baking, nature, and storytelling — and uses those interests to explore big ideas, build empathy, and inspire action.

KindSchooling weaves together:

  • Academic learning

  • Emotional intelligence

  • Community service

  • Joyful creativity

Whether you're a full-time homeschooler or just looking for meaningful afterschool learning, KindSchooling helps your family raise not just kind kids — but confident, thoughtful world-changers.

Kindness, made doable.

At Team Kind Humans, we offer practical, powerful resources built around our KIND Method:

  • Know: Learn the story behind the issue

  • Inquire: Ask thoughtful questions

  • Noodle: Think deeply and creatively

  • Do: Take kind, courageous action

Through our programs, your family can:

  • Use books to spark big conversations

  • Discover inspiring people doing real good

  • Connect with causes and nonprofits

  • Complete service projects — together

You don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you’re brand new to kindness-based learning or already leading the way — you belong here.

We’re building a community of thoughtful, justice-minded parents who want to raise kind kids together.

Want in? I’d love to have you.

Frequently asked questions

You’ve got questions. I’ve got answers.

What's your educational background?

I originally wanted to be a sandwich artist at Subway because I couldn't see over the counter to know what they were doing. But at age 7 I decided I would become a teacher and never looked back. I taught in the elementary classroom for 6 years before staying home with my two kids.

How did you start homeschooling?

I was a public-school teacher and I never envisioned my kids going anywhere else. Until the world shut down in 2020 and forced us to home educate for a year. Little did I know I would fall so hard for this new way of learning. We are four years in and loving it all, the easy and the hard.

Why should kids participate in community service?

I think it's time we flip the script on community service and give it a more positive spin. Kids are willing to help if we make it fun and engaging. No more boring required hours when you're elbow-deep in papier-mâché' or writing letters about why you love to play outside.

Why kindness?

I've been researching the science of kindness for my upcoming book, Raising Kind Humans. Kindness improves mental health, strengthens empathy and confidence, and helps kids develop problem-solving skills. The more I learn about kindness the more I want to develop easy-to-implement lessons for families to use at home.
