The Playful
Homeschool
Pod
We’re thrilled to introduce The Playful Family’s very own homeschool pod, designed specifically for kindergarten children! Our pod offers two flexible weekly schedule options, plus engaging enrichment opportunities in areas like art, music, and movement.
​
Manatee Pod #1-$600/month
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9am- 12 noon.
Dolphin Pod #2- $400/month
Tuesdays/ Thursdays from 9am-12noon.
​
Enrichment Clubs occur Monday-Thursday from 12-1:30pm are optional and available at an additional cost.
Both Pods follow the St. Johns County School calendar and are scheduled to run from August 11th, 2025- May 29th, 2026. Creative Curriculum will be implemented for accredited, evidence-based instruction in reading, math, literacy, and social studies. Tuition will include all supplies, and enrolled families will also receive access to a family learning portal to support a seamless learning environment between "school" and home. ​
​
We will offer movement breaks, a trauma informed environment, and a sensory friendly classroom. These pods are perfect for neurodiverse learners or those benefitting from targeted academic support.
​
The Playful Family is a direct pay provider for Step Up for Students scholarships and stipend, making this an easy payment option for parents.
Creative Curriculum
The Creative Curriculum for Kindergarten provides a research based, whole child approach to learning through project-based investigations of science and social studies topics that integrates literacy and mathematics concepts into everyday instruction. We will inspire a lifelong love for learning as we:
​
-
foster a classroom community that supports children ;
-
save time collecting authentic progress information with a placement observation for ease of portfolio submission;
-
create meaningful learning experiences through project-based investigations; and
-
encourage children to think critically, solve problems, and connect ideas.
Meet the Teacher
We’re proud to have Lisa Raisor, M.Ed. leading our homeschool pod! Lisa brings a strong background in special education and trauma-informed care, creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every child can thrive. Families may already recognize her from our School’s Out Camps, where she’s become a familiar and trusted face. With her warmth, expertise, and passion for early childhood education, Lisa brings both heart and skill to the classroom each day. Families will receive monthly newsletters from the lead teacher highlighting upcoming activities, themes, and learning objectives.
