Engaging educational resources and hands-on Bible lessons

Hi! I’m Kristen, the educator and creator behind Step Strong Learning Co.! I’m a homeschool mom, online teacher, and children’s ministry leader with about 10 years of teaching experience across elementary and middle school ages. I have a bachelor’s degree in Education with a minor in Child Psychology, a 120-hour TESOL certification, and additional training in structured literacy. My experience includes classroom teaching, teaching English language learners, homeschooling my own children, and leading children’s ministry alongside my husband, Michael. I love creating activities that make kids curious and excited to learn! In my store, you’ll find reading comprehension, phonics, math games, science and history activities, building challenges, and KJV Bible lessons. My resources combine meaningful practice with stories, games, and hands-on fun. My goal is to provide affordable, easy-to-use resources that help teachers, families, and churches spend less time preparing and more time connecting with the children they teach.
