Meet Kenya Thomas

A seasoned educator who serves the whole child.

Kenya Thomas is the founder and educator behind Jump Start Learning Experiences. With 17+ years of experience, an associate’s degree, and a bachelor’s degree, she is passionate about academic foundations, confidence, emotional intelligence, and creativity.

Our focus

Confidence, strong foundations, and a day that fits family life.

Confidence first

Learning starts where your child already is, so early wins feel doable before the work gets harder. Confidence, emotional intelligence, and creativity are part of every session.

Foundations that hold

Phonics, reading, writing, and math are taught one skill at a time — the same academic foundations Kenya has been building with children for more than 17 years.

A day that fits

Microschool runs Monday through Friday with before and after care, crafting meets twice a week, and Jump Start Saturdays run all year long.
