Calling All Smart & Creative Kids!
Playful Learning, Imagination, Creativity,
and Fun Are Finally Here!
Welcome to the Barefoot Learning Club – the ultimate playground for curious, creative, and wildly capable kids.
This is where:
Learning meets fun
Creativity meets academics
All kids discover their own inner genius
Parents, This Is for You if:
You are sick to death of the old broken “model” of education that only seems to cause pain and suffering and fighting with your kids.
You’re craving something better, something that gives your kids the academic skills they need in reading and math, but taught in a way that feeds their minds and spirits.
You need a resource that combines learning with less pressure for you and more joy for your kids.
You want a resource that includes academics (reading and math and anything else your child wants to explore), art and music activities, real life skills, games that are so fun your kids won’t even know they are learning, and so much more.
You want to be part of a community of parents and teachers who get it and want to unite to create a form of education that sparks the inherent joy of learning in every kiddo.
You want to be part of a community of parents and teachers who want to build a better future for your children.
Everything we do fits with the Barefoot Learning Club motto:
Foundation + Imagination = Genius
Foundation:
The two academic skills kids must learn are reading and math. These are the foundation for all learning. Once they have those, kids can choose to learn anything they want. We make it fun and easy for them to learn at their own pace and make real progress without the pressure that melts them down.
Imagination:
Kids naturally have vivid imaginations. We don’t want that creative spark “educated” out of them. We encourage them to use their imaginations to enhance their learning – in the way kids are meant to learn.
Genius:
All kids are geniuses in their own way, and they are all important and valuable. Who said the only geniuses have “book learning?” That’s the old way of thinking. Genius takes many forms, and we support kids in discovering their own inner genius.
Let’s jump right in with the most important foundational skill of all – reading.
Option 1: The Fill in the Gaps Challenge
In this video series, Kristy teaches the lost phonics that have been systematically eliminated from the schools. When kids get the tools they need – delivered in a simple and fun way – something happens.
They shift. They bloom.
Fill in the Gaps video series is for kids ages 8+, and teaches all the lost phonics, virtually eliminating sight words.
It gives kids a real tool that helps them accurately decode words, which naturally leads to increased comprehension and comfort with reading.
Best of all, the videos are short, to the point, and can be replayed anytime you need a refresher.
Don’t wait. Kids need help now.
And how wonderful will it be to stop fighting with your kids and see their natural brilliance emerge?
This DIY video series is for you if:
You are the DIY type who prefers to have access and work through things on your own.
You like to revisit material as needed.
You want a simple process to follow that gives real results.
You really only want/need to fill in the gaps.
Your student is in school and needs reading support.
One-time tuition payment of $97 for lifetime access.

Success Stories That Inspire
Our personalized approach has made a real difference in the lives of students. Here’s what they have to say about their journey with us.
My parents pulled me out of school when I was eight because I was sick. Kristy homeschooled me all the way through high school. Now I just completed my master’s degree and I still use the strategies she taught me. She is the best there is.

Kristy has a gift for immediately engaging kids and making them feel like they can do whatever is being asked of them. My daughter is blind, but Kristy just knew how to reach her.
~Kelly D., San Diego
My 16-year-old daughter was, I thought, doing okay. Then I found out she was struggling to read but was afraid to tell me. We did Kristy’s summer intensive workshop, and she jumped up three full grade levels. Everything just clicked.
