Whether you're just starting out or refining a multi-year plan, we help families build an education that fits their child — not the other way around.
Annual packages include a dedicated Navigator: an experienced educator who reviews your family's goals, recommends curriculum, coordinates outside providers, and supports required documentation (including Student Learning Plans where applicable). Hourly sessions with Eric are available for families who want direct strategic access to the founder.
Year-long support from a dedicated Navigator. Includes curriculum planning, provider coordination, documentation support, and regular check-ins. Billed annually; ESA receipts formatted for state submission.
One Navigator, two family check-ins per quarter, written curriculum plan for the year, and documentation support for ESA submissions. Best for families who want a clear plan and occasional guidance.
Full-year Navigator support with monthly check-ins, curriculum planning across all children, provider coordination (tutors, therapists, co-ops), SLP documentation, and one included session with Eric. Most families who choose this package find it replaces the need for multiple separate services.
Everything in the Annual Family Plan, plus bi-weekly Navigator check-ins, priority access to live class scheduling, two included sessions with Eric, and a personalized year-end education report suitable for portfolio review or university preparation.
One-time deliverables for specific needs. No subscription required. Commonly used at the start of a homeschool year or when a family is transitioning from a traditional school setting.
A written Student Learning Plan prepared by a credentialed educator. Covers educational goals, curriculum choices, and learning approach. Formatted for state submission and ESA documentation. Turnaround: 5 business days after intake call.
A structured onboarding for families new to homeschooling. Includes a 60-minute intake call, written curriculum recommendations by child and subject, a first-year schedule template, and an SLP if required by your state. Delivered within 7 business days.
Something isn't working. We review what you're currently using, identify what's misaligned, and recommend a replacement plan with specific resources. Delivered as a written report with annotated recommendations. No judgment — pivots are normal.
Help organizing and presenting your child's portfolio for year-end review requirements. Includes a 45-minute call, a written summary of learning progress, and guidance on what to include. We do not conduct the official review — we prepare you for it.
We identify and coordinate outside providers that match your child's learning profile. Includes vetting, scheduling alignment, communication templates, and documentation for ESA provider qualification. Covers one semester of provider management.
For families who want targeted advice without an ongoing package. Sessions are conducted via video call. Recordings available on request.
A single session with an experienced Navigator. Bring your questions about curriculum, scheduling, state requirements, provider coordination, or anything else on your mind. Great for a quick check-in or a specific decision you need help making.
Direct access to Eric, founder of Empathy Kids and an internationally experienced educator. Ideal for families with complex situations — neurodivergent children, multi-age households, transitions from or toward traditional schooling, or long-range educational planning. Limited availability.
Walk through your family's ESA situation with someone who knows the programs. Covers what's reimbursable, how to structure purchases for maximum benefit, what documentation Step Up For Students requires, and how to build a qualifying provider relationship. Focused on Florida (PEP, FES-UA, NWSA) but applicable to other state programs.
Community-based learning and support for homeschool families. Smaller investment, shared knowledge, real connection.
A structured group program for families in their first or second year of homeschooling. Six weekly sessions with a Navigator covering curriculum selection, scheduling, state requirements, community building, and resilience for the hard weeks. Limited to 8 families per cohort. Runs fall and spring.
A monthly group session for Empathy Pass subscribers. Eric leads a 30-minute planning discussion followed by open Q&A. Focused on whole-child education strategy, seasonal rhythms, and curriculum integration. Included in Empathy Pass at no additional cost.
