Meet Learning Coach Alicia (Upper Pod Coach)
Alicia joined KaiPod Learning in 2025 and brings nearly a decade of experience as an educator, most recently from Syracuse, New York. She has taught at both the elementary and middle school levels, where she developed a strong belief in the power of curiosity, consistency, and meaningful relationships to support student growth. Her ability to build lasting connections is evident—some students were lucky enough to learn with Alicia for four different years.
Before beginning her career in education, Alicia worked as a before- and after-school sports coach, an experience that further shaped her student-centered, community-minded approach. She brings that same energy and care into everything she does at KaiPod.
Outside of work, Alicia enjoys spending quality time with friends and family, volunteering at a local food bank, and getting outdoors to play games and stay active.
Meet Learning Coach Eric (Lower Pod Coach)
Eric joined KaiPod Learning in 2026 and brings more than 17 years of experience as an elementary educator, most recently from Las Cruces, New Mexico. Throughout his career, Eric has taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students in both New Mexico and Arizona, experiences that shaped his deep commitment to building strong academic, social, and emotional foundations for every learner. He believes that meaningful learning happens when children feel truly seen, safe, and valued, and he strives to create classroom environments where students can confidently grow and thrive.
A natural mentor and passionate advocate for others, Eric is deeply invested in supporting those around him through encouragement, guidance, and creating opportunities for personal and professional growth. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from New Mexico State University—go Aggies!
Outside of KaiPod, Eric enjoys spending quality time with friends and family, working on his cars in the garage, and staying active on the pickleball court.

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!

ESA

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
3 Day Plan: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
4 Day Plan: Monday through Thursday
One Semester Commitment
All KaiPod Learning enrollment plans require a one-semester commitment. This policy ensures stability and consistency for both students and the KaiPod Learning community. Semester 1 begins with the local KaiPod calendar (typically August or September) and ends on December 31st. Semester 2 starts on January 1st and ends on the last day of the local KaiPod calendar. Students who join after the school year begins are committed to a standard one-semester timeframe or a 5-month period. Withdrawal before the end of the semester commitment is not permitted after the 30-Day Happiness Guarantee period ends. Families cannot make any changes to their child’s enrollment plan during the one-semester commitment, including upgrades, downgrades, or changes in attendance days. After the one-semester commitment, families may upgrade, downgrade, or terminate their enrollment plan with 30 days' written notice.One Month Happiness Guarantee
At KaiPod Learning, we want to ensure every family feels confident in their decision to join our community. That’s why we offer a 30-day Happiness Guarantee. This guarantee gives families the chance to experience KaiPod Learning risk-free while ensuring we’re the best fit for your child’s educational journey. Families have 30 days from their enrollment start date to determine if KaiPod Learning is the right fit for them. During this period, our team also assesses whether we can effectively meet your child’s needs. Due to the flexible attendance policies of our program, the 30-day period begins on the first available date of enrollment as selected in the enrollment form, not your child’s first day of attendance. The first payment of the chosen payment schedule is nonrefundable and must be paid in full at the time of enrollment. If written notice of cancellation is received within the 30-day Happiness Guarantee period, the one-semester commitment is waived. After the 30-day Happiness Guarantee period ends, families are locked into the one-semester commitment and the remaining tuition.Payment Plans
For the 2025-2026 school year, KaiPod Learning offers three flexible payment schedules with discounts for semester and annual payments. All plans are based on the local 180-day academic year calendar and are prorated if a student enrolls mid-year.10 Payments Plan: The annual tuition is divided into 10 equal installments, due on the 1st of each month from August to May.
