Our Story

I started FirmEd Foundations to provide flexible and just in time support for community families and schools. 2020 highlighted the need for creative, flexible and effective instruction.

As a parent and educator, I believe that learning is lifelong and the best gift we can give our children is a solid education. The primary school years establish formative ideas of learning, friendships, math, reading and writing. Students develop their identity as a learner.

Regardless of delivery platform, at the core, effective instruction is a culturally responsive community of learners that feel safe taking risks and are empowered to explore curiosities.

At FirmEd Foundations, we work towards educational equity for every child, every day by giving back to our community.
