Online for you. Off-screen for them.

The Childhood Almanac lives online, in a members-only portal built for the parent. There is no book to buy, nothing to print, and nothing to file. You open the day on your phone or tablet over your first cup of coffee, read the few-minute plan, and the screen goes back in a drawer before the children ever sit down. What they experience is entirely analog: real books, real objects, and their own paper notebook. You hold the plan. They hold the crayon.

Mornings with Jesus

Every single day begins here, in the Word, before the letters and the numbers. A verse, a short story, a song, and a prayer. Ten minutes that set the tone for everything after. This is not a subject we tacked on. It is the reason the whole thing exists. We start each day with the One who made them.

Raising good humans starts with Jesus.

The Little Almanac

Instead of worksheets you toss in the recycling, your child keeps one notebook: The Little Almanac. Day by day, they fill it with their letters, their numbers, their drawings, and the words you write down for them, until the day they can write their own. You keep one beside them, too. By spring it is not a workbook. It is a handwritten record of a whole year of their childhood, the kind of thing you keep forever. Nothing to print, ever.

Science-Backed Lessons

Slow and screen-free does not mean behind. Every lesson is built on the research that actually works: the science of reading, with letters taught in the proven order so words click into place; math learned with real objects in their hands long before any symbol on a page; and play that builds the focus and self-control that set a child up to thrive. It meets Kindergarten standards and reaches into first grade, and it hands you the records to prove it, the moment your state asks.

All at one table

Every lesson comes in three tracks, so your three-year-old and your six-year-old learn side by side.

Hearing the sounds inside words, counting real things, loving to be read to.

Stage One

Letters meet their sounds. Tracing in salt, blending a first word.

Stage Two

Reading first sentences, writing on their own, adding and taking away. Meets kindergarten standards.

Stage Three

Twelve units, gathered into four collections

that carry your family through the year.

  • here is what's yours

    Twelve units, one for every month, gathered into four collections that carry your family through the year: Wonders Above and Below, All God's People, Maker and Made, and Gather and Give Thanks.

  • three years, not one

    Because every lesson comes in three stages, the same twelve units become a brand-new year as your child grows. A child who walks through Little Oceans at three meets it again at four, and again at five, deeper every time. You buy one year and get three.

  • heirloom projects

    At the close of every unit, you and your child make one thoughtful thing: a clay dish pressed with shells, a star to hang, a story stitched by hand. Not crafts to toss out. Treasures they'll find at sixteen and remember making with you.

  • one payment

    Never a subscription. Yours for life, for every child you will ever teach.

    And only fifty families. We're opening to fifty founding families, on purpose. Not a crowd, a community, with us right beside you the whole way.

  • the gathering place

    Our private community, entirely off social media. Fifty mothers walking the same road at the same time, and me, answering.

    A journey into the art of seeing, a chance to explore our world through the lens of a camera.

    A joyful, process-oriented exploration of what it means to be an artist.

  • An orange payphone mounted on a beige wall with a background of gray and tan geometric patterns, and a 'no smoking' sign above it. The photo has a Polaroid-style border with 'little historians' written at the bottom.

Come raise them with us.

The Childhood Almanac opens to our founding families in early 2027. Get on the list, and you will be among the first ones in, at the founding price, with us beside you the whole way.
