This is our son’s first year in preschool with Mikaela at Project Based Primary School. WOW! We were so incredibly blessed to have found her! As first time parents of a preschooler, you hope and pray to find someone who will not only educate but encourage, and support your child. We found that in Mikaela AND more! She loves her students and truly cares about them. She celebrates their successes and motivates them to be their best selves. When she asked us about continuing next year for Pre-K, we couldn’t say yes quick enough! Our son has thrived in the small class size, made many new friends, and thoroughly enjoyed the various hands-on projects and practical learning lessons. PBPS is magical and everything we ever could have hoped and prayed for.

This is my first year teaching and I was assigned a preschool 3s class. I have never worked in that age group before and had no clue where to start. I joined Project based Preschool and never looked back. I download the scope and sequence each month, check out the recommended books from our library, buy a few things from the resource list, prep the included printables and my entire month is ready to go. My students are also flourishing using this program. The other teachers I work with are blown away by how far along our youngest class already is in comparison to groups they’ve had in the past. I will definitely be using this every year! Our kindergarten teacher is excited for the new kindergarten membership to drop so she can join too!

I always wanted to homeschool my twins but I found myself lost in the rabbit hole of Pinterest and homeschool blogs with no direction or idea what I was doing. I saw Project Based Primary recommended on Instagram and started following. I loved seeing glimpses of the learning her students were doing every day and then decided to join her membership. I have never been more grateful for someone I have never met! The outlines each month of what to teach my kids, and the list of materials, books, and project ideas are so helpful, and her lesson presentation videos make me feel confident I am teaching my children the right thing, at the right time, in the right way. I have only been in the membership for four months and my kids have already learned SO much! I can’t believe how much they retain when I teach it the way Mikaela guides me to. If you want to homeschool, this is it. Join Project Based Preschool.

I’m a Project Based Preschool  member and mama to a neurodivergent four year old. I love the membership because it gives us the flexibility to work at our own pace while also being designed with the inclusive principles of Universal Design for Learning.

The materials, accompanying videos, and unit plan are inclusive and accessible. We love being able to watch the same materials in action at Mikaela’s micro school as well! And we love materials that are affordable and yield high learning, which is what we get from Project Based Primary.

I’ve been following @projectbasedprimary for two years. Mikaela’s Instagram is a wealth of primary education knowledge. Even as a certified educator, I’m constantly learning new things from her experience! Her printables are top notch, and always a hit with my two daughters. They are not just made to be made - they are purposeful, multifaceted & adaptable, and free from distracting borders and unnecessary clip art. I love that she includes lesson plans and extensions on how to use them!

Mikaela’s Project Based Preschool and Kick Start memberships, as well as her printables, have been a lifeline for my family and our bilingualism journey. I love that we are able to confidently purchase materials that are not only age appropriate but also developed with children in mind - following their interests and the things that spark joy for children. I love being able to use her resources in Spanish and support my children’s education, feeling confident at the same time that these resources are preparing them for the demands of kindergarten that they will face in the future. I love how her membership and resources build on each other and can be used for numerous years as my children develop their skills. Not only are these resources exactly what my family needed, but Mikaela is the most attentive and inclusive teacher I have ever met and our family is just so lucky to know her and be educated by her. Could not recommend her enough 10/10!

Mikaela’s printables are the BEST! I have purchased from different creators, but my child always comes back to Mikaela’s materials. They all have a hands-on element, they all come with lesson plans, and I like that they target a variety of skills. They aren’t just a one use printable, they can be used in different ways as my child’s skills grow. I also love getting the freebies every month from her email list! I highly recommend checking out her shop.
