Our Story

Hi, I’m Kim — wife, mom, teacher, explorer, and creator of LearnWild USA.

LearnWild was born from my favorite part of homeschooling: the freedom to experience learning through local adventures. Living in Florida gave my kids and me endless opportunities to learn simply by stepping outside and exploring the world just beyond our doorstep.

We were learning in the wild — together.

While most kids were catching the school bus, we were catching the sunrise at the beach. Learning happened everywhere—wandering nature trails studying butterflies and birds, combing shorelines for shells and tide pool crabs, snorkeling coral reefs and cool springs, crafting art by hand, and reading the classics aloud. We explored museums and aquariums, built butterfly gardens and vegetable beds, and sought out off-the-beaten-path experiences led by inspiring people who made learning feel alive.

In those everyday moments, we weren’t just checking boxes—we were learning together in the wild. The friendships we built, within our family and across our community, remain some of our most cherished memories.

Now, as I wind down my homeschool journey, I see something shifting. Screens and videos are slowly replacing hands-on learning and field trip adventures. And while they can be helpful, even inspiring, watching someone else live life isn’t the same as living it yourself.

That’s the heart of LearnWild USA — reminding us that real learning doesn’t just happen in theory, it happens when you live it.

I understand…

I understand how hard it is to carve out time for an outing that feels intentional — instead of just surviving the day. I remember what it felt like to go on an adventure only to come home to chaos — no dinner planned, kids melting down, the love-hate moment with the drive-thru — and wondering, Was it even worth it?

And the planning? Sometimes it felt like a full-time job — bouncing between websites, trying to figure out hours, age ranges, food options, logistics. We’d come home and realize the day could’ve been so much more — and I’d think, This had potential… but we missed it.

That’s why I created LearnWild.

It’s more than a list of venues. We know moms have little margin in their days to research and plan for meaningful programs or outings.  That’s why we’ve done the heavy lifting for you.

LearnWild USA connects South Florida homeschool families with curated, high-quality local experiences designed to spark curiosity, expand skill sets, and bring learning to life beyond the page. Every experience is thoughtfully vetted and purposefully crafted, so you can offer your students intentional learning experiences any day of the week.

Get out there. Keep exploring.

Whether you’re homeschooling, roadschooling,  passing through South Florida, or just hoping to plan your next family-friendly weekend adventure, LearnWild supports your journey to slow down, connect, and rediscover the wonder right outside your door.

There’s a homeschool mantra that still echoes in my mind:
“The days are long, but the years are short.”

When we reflect back on our homeschool journey, its not the worksheets we remember, but the times we were learning together, in the wild.

So when you can — get out there.

Keep exploring,
Kim
