Why I Created Little Lion History
I started homeschooling to make history more meaningful for my kids but it quickly became something bigger. Like many parents, I saw the importance of helping our kids understand the past, and I wanted a way to do it that was engaging, age-appropriate, and fun.
The Heart Behind the Mission
So I created Little Lion History playful, story-based tools that spark curiosity and teach the foundational ideas behind America’s beginnings. I believe kids don’t need everything locked in before they start learning. They just need an invitation.
