About Us

Allison and Ashlee are two mothers who started The Handpicked Education after their children suffered severe medical traumas and left them unable to attend public school. Learning to navigate the world of homeschooling brought Allison and Ashlee together where they found a community of other families whose children were also medically fragile. Through this endeavor they found a need in the community to provide educational opportunities, support, and education to parents and families. Families whose children were dealing with special needs due to the lack of resources available were also met with a lack of resources for homeschooling. The Handpicked Education provides community, support, and endless opportunities for education and enrichment for the whole family through its programs like The HP Nature Group Co-Op, fishing club, book clubs, Life Skills class, Homeschool Support, Handpicked Conversations, and more…

Hi! Allison here!

I have been homeschooling my children for over 6 years, starting with my oldest child in preschool. I hope that my experience over the years as both a homeschool teacher and a child development nerd can be of service to you and your family! Take a look around the website and if you have any questions, don’t be afraid to reach out!

All the best,

Allison
