Welcome to the KaiPod Dover Learning Pod

Welcome to Our KaiPod Dover Learning Pod

KaiPod provides flexible in-person learning for 3rd-12th grade. Our learning pods provide small group learning for up to 24 students with a 12:1 ratio. Whether you’re looking for support in your homeschooling journey, a space for your online learner to connect with a community of friends or an environment focused on your child’s unique needs, KaiPod is the place! We support you in designing a personalized education plan based on your family’s needs and interests. Our model adapts to your family’s needs, not vice versa.

KaiPod Dover is a welcoming, warm, and cozy community for kids and families as they walk in the door. Our top priority is building trust with our families! Our Learning Coaches aspire to coach our students to find the tools they need to grow and succeed while feeling proud to be who they are. By celebrating our students, we can get to know their passions and interests — this helps us plan enrichment activities like Kai Community Cooking!

KaiPod Dover Learning Coach Cynthia

Meet Learning Coach Autumn

Autumn joined KaiPod Learning Dover in February of 2024 and hails from the rural town of Acton, ME.

Before joining KaiPod, Autumn was a seventh-grade literacy teacher in northwestern Vermont. Autumn is no stranger to the wonder of interdisciplinary and individualized adolescent education, having spent time working as a district-wide remote and on-site substitute teacher, homeroom advisor, and a summer program Scratch instructor, which taught her the importance of fostering connection and community among her students as well as finding meaningful opportunities to enrich learning by leaning into students’ individual interests and goals.

Prior to starting her journey in education, Autumn spent time diversifying her knowledge base through coursework and independent research, working in the independent media industry, and presenting at multiple academic excellence conferences.

A big believer in inquiry and community-based learning, Autumn supports opportunities for students to be guided in pursuing their individual, real-world aligned goals and achieving invaluable insight due to their freedom to delve into higher-level inquiry. Moreover, Autumn is an immense proponent of experiential learning opportunities for students, and she is incredibly excited to facilitate enrichments enhanced through community collaborations and service-learning endeavors.

Autumn is qualified in English Secondary Education and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and Secondary Education from Keene State College in Keene, NH.

When Autumn isn’t keeping busy coaching Dover’s Upper Pod, you can find her in Southern Maine exploring the wilderness with her Border Collie mix, Brutus, tackling a new recipe, playing another round of disc golf, or immersed in her latest novel or podcast.

Meet Learning Coach Cynthia

Cynthia joined KaiPod Dover in 2023 and comes to us from Amesbury, Massachusetts. Originally from the west coast, she was born in California and lived many years in the Pacific Northwest. For over eight years, Cynthia has been an educator at a private progressive school in Massachusetts. She is no stranger to working with children of all ages, having spent time working as a school counselor and a teacher, which taught her the importance of meeting children where they are emotionally and socially.

Before starting her journey in education, Cynthia spent time as a mental health counselor and as a public programs coordinator at an innovative environmental learning center. A big proponent of learning ecosystems, Cynthia encourages students to experience the cultural and natural resources around them. She believes that learning happens everywhere. Cynthia is qualified in psychology and holds a Master's degree from Antioch University in Seattle. She holds another Master’s in Theatre Design from the University of California, San Diego.

Flexible Curriculum Options

At KaiPod, we support families and students with your preferred curriculum of choice. Whether you already have a homeschool curriculum or an online program that works well for your child, we'll provide the support they need at the pod! If you are transitioning from a traditional public or private school, we’ll work with you to create a customized education plan.

For most students, this includes a self-paced curriculum so your child can learn at their own pace, moving faster or slower based on their own understanding. These options may include accredited online schools, workbook-based homeschool programs, or something even more customized.

We also offer three optional academic programs at no cost — Zearn (math for grades 3-8), Lexia (literacy for grades K-12), and Map Growth Assessments. Watch the video below to learn more!

  • Open Door Policy
    At KaiPod Learning, we recognize that all students are unique and learn in different ways. Thus, we are committed to giving students the flexibility they need to maximize their learning experience. For this reason, KaiPod Learning operates on an “open door” basis. Each student may come as frequently or infrequently as they wish based on their enrolled plan. Students may come for a whole day, a partial day, or for various brief intervals throughout the course of a single day. It’s your choice. We are here to offer support when and if your student needs it.

  • Standard Enrollment Days
    The standard enrollment days for our part-time enrollment plans are listed below. We are able to accommodate alternate days based on availability!

    • 2 Day Plan: Tuesday and Thursday

  • One Semester Commitment
    All KaiPod Learning enrollment plans are based on the local 36-week calendar and require a one-semester (five-month) commitment. If enrolling mid-year, there is a five-month commitment. After the one-semester or five-month commitment, enrollments may be cancelled with 30 days written notice.

  • One Month Happiness Guarantee
    We want to ensure that we’re a good fit for your family! KaiPod Learning offers a one-month happiness guarantee. This 30-day trial period offers the opportunity for each family to determine if KaiPod Learning is the best fit for them. It also allows our team the opportunity to evaluate and ensure that we have the resources needed to meet the needs of each student we welcome into our pods. Families who provide written notice of program termination within thirty (30) days of initial enrollment are waived from their one-semester commitment. Please note that the first payment of the chosen payment plan is due in full and is nonrefundable. After the initial 30 days or one-month happiness guarantee period, families are obligated to the one-semester commitment and remaining months of tuition.
