Founder: Ashton Ware
With over six years of experience in early childhood and elementary education, including five as a Montessori teacher, I bring a deep understanding of how children learn best: through hands-on, individualized, and meaningful experiences. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Fitness and Wellness, a Master’s in Literacy Education, and have completed Arizona’s Literacy Endorsement and 90+ hours of Dyslexia training.
My work spans classroom teaching, literacy intervention, curriculum development, and physical education. I’ve created and implemented my own kindergarten PE curriculum and currently serve as an intervention specialist supporting learners from kindergarten through 3rd grade. I also lead my school’s curriculum adoption process, equipping me with insight into what works, and what doesn’t, in both traditional and alternative educational models.
I’m now bringing my passion for whole-child education into the homeschool space, offering 1:1 and small group sessions that integrate literacy, movement, and developmental skills in a way that’s engaging, personalized, and impactful.
