Our Story

Ashlyn’s BW is a home school hangout + after-school program built to serve families who want more than childcare. We’re designed for homeschoolers first—a consistent place to learn, build friendships, and grow through real-world projects—while also welcoming public and private school kids who want extra support and a stronger environment after school.

Big Ideas,
Real Impact.

After-School Program (3:00–6:00 PM)

For public/private school families, we’re a structured after-school program where kids:

  • decompress in a calm, encouraging space

  • get academic reinforcement without pressure

  • learn character, responsibility, and problem-solving through projects

  • finish the day with reflection so growth actually sticks

One Community, Two Entry Points

Different school paths — same mission.

Whether your child learns at home or attends school during the day, Ashlyn’s BW gives them:

  • stronger core skills

  • better social confidence

  • real-world learning

  • positive friendships

  • leadership opportunities (age-appropriate)

How We Measure Progress

(So teammates feel confident — and parents stay in the loop)

  • Every week you’ll get a simple recap of what your child worked on—academics, projects, and character. We keep it clear and practical so you can celebrate wins, spot growth, and know exactly what to support at home.

  • We reinforce the basics in a calm, encouraging way—then track progress over time. This isn’t pressure or test-prep. It’s steady practice, small wins, and clear feedback so kids build confidence and parents can see real improvement.

    We watch for growth in:

    • Reading fluency + comprehension (age-appropriate)

    • Writing (handwriting, sentences, storytelling)

    • Math foundations (number sense, facts, word problems)

  • Projects are where confidence shows up. We track what your child attempted, what they finished, and what they improved—because learning isn’t just “getting it right,” it’s learning to try again with a plan.

    Examples of milestones:

    • Idea → plan → build → share

    • Team role participation (leader/helper/creator)

    • Problem-solving moments (“here’s what we changed”)

    • Final share-outs (show & tell, mini “pitch,” reflection)

  • Our Purpose App turns character into something kids can understand and practice. We recognize real moments: choosing kindness, showing grit, being responsible, and leading well. Parents see what was earned—and the story behind it.

    Badges typically highlight:

    • Effort & perseverance (“I kept going”)

    • Kindness & teamwork (“I helped / included others”)

    • Responsibility (“I cleaned up / followed through”)

    • Leadership (“I guided the group the right way”)

Homeschoolers get community and structure.


Public/private school kids get reinforcement and a better after-school environment.


And every child gets the same thing: a place to grow—academically, socially, and in character—through fun, real-world experiences.
