Our Story

About Trad Kid

Trad Kid was born from a desire to bridge the gap between modern conveniences and timeless, practical skills that are quickly being forgotten in today’s world of screens and instant gratification. As parents, we have a responsibility to ensure our children are prepared for the challenges of life—not just academically but practically, emotionally, and socially.

Think back to a moment in your life when you thought, "I wish my parents had taught me this sooner." These are the moments we aim to eliminate for the next generation. Trad Kid is here to empower children by equipping them with traditional skills that build independence, confidence, and resilience.

As a homeschooling mom to three kids, I’ve seen firsthand the value of teaching self-sufficiency. I believe in fostering a love for learning beyond textbooks—through hands-on experiences and real-world applications. That’s why I created Trad Kid: to share this approach with my community.

Through Trad Kid, children don’t just learn essential skills; they also learn the value of community. We partner with local businesses and passionate individuals to teach our classes, giving children a sense of connection and showing them the importance of supporting local causes. It’s a chance for our village to come together and help raise the next generation of capable, compassionate, and resourceful individuals.

Trad Kid isn’t just a program—it’s a movement. A movement to revive the skills, values, and sense of community that help our children thrive in an ever-changing world. We invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can build a brighter future for our kids, one skill at a time.
