Day in the Life

A Community for Implementing Natural Learning

Why Community?

90-Minute School Day in the Life is your home base, your safe space for support, to network, be coached, resource yourself and share with others.

Our unique approach uses what you already have: your family’s individual needs and strengths.  We pair trainings, conversations, community and a library of resources to cultivate and support you in your homeschool.

Experience being seen, heard, and understood in one of our asynchronous community video chat small groups and community boards.  Grow meaningful friendships in the margin you do have in your daily life. 

You have exclusive access to weekly programs, a resource library with recordings, templates, and planning documents, regular office hours, guest experts, and community small groups and discussion areas to resource your daily homeschool life.

Also: sneek peeks into Kelly’s homeschool as she shares regular DITL snapshots into her family’s learning life.

Opportunities for self-reflection, leadership, mentorship, self-compassion and healing in a safe, judgement-free zone of deep understanding.

I can't wait to meet you!

I’m thrilled that you’re considering joining us on this incredible journey of natural learning and connection. As a homeschooling parent of neurodiverse kids with developmental trauma, I know how challenging and rewarding this path can be. That’s why I created 90MSDITL – to support, share and connect families like yours.

Imagine a homeschooling experience where learning happens naturally, seamlessly woven into your daily life and adventures.  This is what we’re all about – reclaiming time, sanity, confidence, and forging deep connections and relationships with our kids and with each other through natural, self-led learning.

Our community is a place where you’ll find like-minded families who understand your journey, share your values, and celebrate your unique homeschooling path. Together, we’ll explore, learn, and grow, creating unforgettable memories and lasting friendships.

Homeschooling is an individual sport comprised of individual families.  It can be isolating at times when you can’t find ‘your people.’  It’s then our confidence gets shaky and the comparison game can grab the controls.  

Community is homeschooling as a team sport.  The DITL team has each of us as individual families working toward the same goals of relationship, mental health and wellness and a learning journey as unique as the learners.

We can’t wait to meet you and walk alongside you in this adventure of learning at home with our children.

Warmly,

Kelly Edwards and the DITL Community Members

This is for you if...

You know homeschooling is the right choice for your child right now AND you know the school-at-home approach isn’t, but you really don’t know what else to do and don’t want your child to be on screens all day.

You have a neurodivergent learner, a child with special needs, a child with big behaviors or trauma and need a philosophy that meets them where they are at but also facilitates learning without adding to your plate.

You’re feeling like you’re a failure more days than you’d like to admit and don’t have someone to turn to who “gets it.”

You’re excited about the potential of homeschooling but have your own hang ups from your own education and feel that you’re not enough and are worried about not doing enough with them.

You compensate for lacking confidence with lots of research but are overwhelmed with decision fatigue with all that is out there on homeschooling.

You are tired of buying curriculum and not using it.

You want your children to self-direct and not rely on you for what to do next.

You are looking forward to homeschooling building stronger connections with your child.

You are inspired and see how lovely homeschooling and self-directed learning is for families on social media but don’t know how to implement that lifestyle in your own home.

You really want to make and grow meaningful friendships with other, like-minded homeschooling parents you can reach out to daily for validation + support.

This is training, resourcing and community for the home educating parent so children being educated from ages 0-adulthood fall into the trainings and discussions.

The 90-Minute School Day approach is crafted with neurodiversity and developmental trauma in mind. That said, neurodiversity is a landscape that includes neurotypical individuals. 

To illustrate this, when the American Disability Act paved the way for sidewalk cut outs, the original intention was to grant easier access to the physically disabled.  However, these cut outs are used the most by parents and strollers, the abled and disabled benefitted from this accomodation. Likewise, when we make learning more accessible for neurodiversity, the neurotypical population benefits as well.
