Hi, I’m Leah! As a homeschool mom of three with over a decade of
teaching experience and a master’s degree in education, I’m passionate
about designing meaningful learning experiences for children. I created
Create & Connect to nurture the curious minds of children, while helping
them form real friendships and a strong sense of community.
At Create & Connect, we believe learning is about creativity, connection,
and belonging. Children engage in thoughtfully designed projects that
integrate art, science, math, literacy, and social-emotional learning, all in a
warm, supportive environment where they feel seen and inspired.

Welcome!
Create & Connect Studio is a homeschool enrichment
program where children explore big ideas through
creative projects, critical thinking, and meaningful
connection.
We believe learning is most powerful when it’s hands-
on, curiosity-driven, and shared in community. Our
studio mornings are thoughtfully designed to
complement home learning through inquiry-based
units, open-ended materials, and collaborative
exploration.
At Create & Connect, children:
Ask questions and explore big ideas
Create and discover through art, play, and
imagination
Build friendships and collaborate with others
Develop emotional awareness and confidence in
who they are
Group & private lessons
Our Daily Rhythm
