In this episode, guest expert Elan Page from the Homeschool Our Way Podcast lifts the veil a bit for those of us who are NOT a part of the homeschooling community and she is going to cover things like…
What she looks for in a play space

The most important things you need to stand out to homeschooling families as a play space

What types of programming and classes she’s looking for

Where we as business owners can reach and market to homeschooling families in a NON icky way

What types of resources she’s looking for to enhance her family’s homeschooling experience

How she weights the cost and benefit of many classes and programs

How to specifically address the unique needs of homeschooling families of color
And much more.

We are also going to clear up some WIDELY held misconceptions about homeschooling families in the indoor play industry and honestly that part alone was just so eye opening and insightful for me, and I really can’t wait for you to hear it.
