The Barefoot Playground
(a micro school for parents )
The micro school movement is taking off for kids, but what about a micro school for parents?
Parents deserve a place where they can show up with childlike curiosity and wonder, too. Parents deserve a place where they can ask questions, connect with other parents, learn new insights and ideas, and return to their family refreshed and energized, like a playground is meant to serve us.
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 affordable and meaningful. You get practical advice based on science, years of homeschooling experience, and study.
It is a virtual micro school for parents led by veteran homeschooling parents, speakers, & authors well-versed in child development, education, and connection.
Come for one, come for all. You pick what works for you.
This is your playground.

Upcoming Schedule

The 2023 year will kick off on Thursday, February 16th and gatherings will take place twice a month. You can sign up for one gathering or come as often as you’d like!
Not at all. The gatherings are set up to meet you where you are. You get to customize a schedule that works for you. No long-term commitments or expensive costs to join. You can come one time and be done or you can come twice a month consistently. The choice is yours.
If any gatherings are recorded, they will only be shared with those who participated. I want The Barefoot Playground to be a private forum for those who are able to attend live. While I may share ideas and solutions to issues participants present, the purpose is to be a space outside of social media where people are encouraged to share with and get feedback from others in real time.
Yes. However, the registration window will close six hours before the gathering takes place. There are a limited number of spaces so if you want to secure a spot, register as soon as you can.
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.
When you pick a date and purchase a spot, you will be sent a link to our ZOOM room the DAY OF our 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. I want you to do what is right for you!
