Welcome!

Welcome — and thank you for stopping by!

I really appreciate you taking the time to visit my new website. It’s been a true labour of love over the past few days, and I’ve had to learn everything from scratch. To say it’s been challenging is an understatement — but I’m proud of the results… for now!

In the future, I plan to post more here on the blog to give you a glimpse into the kinds of things we get up to at Explore and Learn.

Starting this business has been on my mind for a long time. After 17 years of teaching in schools and home educating my own two children, I found that my values no longer aligned with the traditional classroom setting. Being in school was becoming increasingly frustrating, and I knew it was time for a change.

For now, I’m still teaching in school one day a week while I get the business up and running, with the goal of resigning completely early next year. It’s a big shift — and a bit nerve-wracking, if I’m honest — but I’m excited (and hopeful!) about what I can offer to the home education community.

Thank you again for being here. I can't wait to see where this journey leads.

Bye for now,
Hayley
