At Charted Roots Education, we help families build the Universal Foundations for Life through practical, evidence-informed courses for children and youth ages 2–18. These self-paced courses give parents the basics of child development and practical strategies to support healthy growth and academic success.

They're ideal for busy parents, parents who want straightforward guidance as their child enters each new developmental and academic stage, and families who are new to Western countries. For families who need more personalized support, we also offer one-on-one coaching tailored to your family's needs.

What You'll Learn

Our approach combines the latest research with real-world experience from the classroom and insights from parents at home. We've identified what truly works and created practical systems that help families build confident parenting, peaceful homes, and consistent routines.

By fostering accountability, responsibility, and structure, we help children develop the skills they need at every stage of their academic and personal growth, empowering them to succeed at home, at school, and throughout life.

Kindergarten/Primary Readiness

This course supports parents in preparing their children for school success by building independence, social skills, emotional regulation, and foundational academic readiness at home. When strong roots are established early, children enter kindergarten confident, capable, and ready to thrive.

Early Years Playbook Grades 1-3

During the early years, children strengthen foundational skills, develop independence and responsibility, and begin their academic journey in literacy and mathematics. As their curiosity grows, so do their questions. The Early Years Playbook gives parents the practical knowledge, strategies, and answers they need to confidently support their child's learning, development, and academic success every step of the way.
