2. Choose your schedule
Pick the default flexible 180-day year, or build your own (4-day weeks, year-round, custom holidays). You can drag lessons around any time.
3. Open today's lesson
Each day shows what to do, in what order. Read the story, do the workpage, answer the check questions. Pip walks your child through every step.
4. Mark complete
One tap closes out the lesson. Attendance, grades, and progress notes are written for you. No spreadsheets. No end-of-year scramble.
5. Print your quarterly report
Every quarter, your child's full report PDF is auto-generated — grades, attendance, samples, narrative. Save it, email it, or hand it to your district.
Quick questions
When should we start?
Whenever you're ready. Most families begin in late August or early September, but the 180-day plan can start any month.
What if we miss a day?
Nothing breaks. Just open the next lesson when you're back. The schedule editor can shift days forward in one click.
Do I need to grade things?
No. Quizzes and check questions are auto-graded. Written work gets a quick rubric — you tap a score and add a note if you want.
What about my state's requirements?
Every state is different. See a state-by-state overview →
Ready when you are.
Create your nest, open today's lesson, and let The Learning Nest handle the paperwork.
