The Barefoot Playground
(where parents come to learn and play)
We talk about how important it is for our children to play, but forget that we (parents) deserve a place to show up with childlike curiosity and wonder, too!
We deserve a space where we can ask questions, share our experiences, connect (play) with other parents, learn new ideas, and return to our family feeling refreshed and energized.
The Barefoot Playground does just that!
On the Playground, you get the convenience of online without the loss of connection. You get dedicated access to people and information that is meaningful. You get practical advice based on science, years of homeschooling experience, and study.

REGISTRATION is now CLOSED! Please stay connected through social media or subscribe to my Substack newsletter where I’ll share updates when new gatherings are scheduled.
The 2024 season kicks off Monday, March 4th with the series, “You’ve Decided to Unschool. Now What?!” Registrants will meet LIVE weekly over ZOOM. Gathering dates are March 4th, March 11th, March 18th, and March 25th. TIME: 7PM ET.
This is a series, so once this cohort is filled, the doors will close. Be sure you are signed up on my email list to stay up to date on changes and additions to the schedule: https://letemgobarefoot.substack.com/ and follow along on Instagram @letemgobarefoot where I’ll be posting updates as well.
When you register for “You’ve Decided to Unschool. Now What?!” you are registering for a limited space 4-week LIVE cohort that meets weekly throughout the month of March 2024. Refunds can be given minus a $10 service fee up to March 1st, 2024. If you miss gatherings once the series begins, (life happens!) I can send you the notes and highlights on the topic we covered.
I will not be recording the weekly series, “You’ve Decided to Unschool. Now What?!”. I want this to be personal and customized to those who are participating live. Sometimes recording a gathering can stifle open conversation. If you register and can not make it to every gathering, you will receive notes and the highlights of the topics discussed.
Not this time. Registration for this series closes February 29th, 2024.
Registrants will be sent a ZOOM link 2 days before our first gathering to the email you registered with. Please check your junk folders and reach out to me at letemgobarefoot@protonmail.com if you do not receive the link details.
My hope is that The Barefoot Playground can serve as the virtual equivalent of meeting at a park or at a coffee house for an hour of conversation with friends. However, I get not wanting to be on camera for the entire gathering. If you need to toggle between being on camera and having a still photo, that is totally fine. Please do what is right for you!
Registrants of the March 2024 cohort of “You’ve Decided to Unschool. Now What?!” will also be receiving a 30-minute private follow-up call with me (Missy) to be used in the month of April or May 2024. After we wrap up the March series, participants will be sent my calendar to schedule their 30-minute call, at no additional cost, at their convenience.
The group gatherings are a wonderful way to learn and bounce ideas around, but sometimes you may have questions that require more time to work through or that you’d rather discuss privately. You can schedule a time to talk to me here. If you are not finding a day/time that works with your schedule, email me at letemgobarefoot@protonmail.com
