The Lesson Planning Blueprint COURSE is a game-changing course designed specifically for family childcare providers. This course will ensure your lesson plans align with the unique vision and values of your childcare center, set clear expectations for your students, engage parents effectively, and build stronger relationships with families. Plus, you’ll learn how to implement student assessments to track progress and demonstrate the incredible growth your program fosters.
By the end of this course, you’ll have:
One of the most valuable aspects of this course is the opportunity to connect and collaborate with other
family childcare professionals. We know how rare and powerful it is to share experiences, ideas, and encouragement with others who understand the joys and challenges of running a family childcare.
This course is led by Leora Cowart, a certified teacher with 18 years of experience in education and childcare. She has successfully operated both a four-star childcare center and a thriving family home program, and she’s passionate about helping providers like you achieve your goals while maintaining balance and
joy in your life.
My journey started in the classroom, where I saw firsthand how many children were entering kindergarten unprepared. This drove me to open my family childcare center to help bridge that readiness gap. As my program grew, I expanded to a childcare center, earned a four-star rating, and developed curriculum that truly transformed children’s learning experiences.
But after years in the business, I realized my heart was in family childcare. The smaller group sizes, intimate connections, and personalized experiences make it the best setting for fostering kindergarten readiness. So, I returned to my roots and reopened my family home childcare.
Through trial and error, I discovered how quality lesson planning could completely transform my business and my life. I went from 7 AM to 7 PM days to working 9 AM to 4 PM, Monday through Thursday, with summers and holidays off. And most importantly, I was delivering exceptional education while reclaiming my time and reducing stress.
The Lesson Planning Blueprint was born out of my desire to share this transformation with other family childcare providers. This course and the lesson plans activities isn’t just about lesson planning—it’s about helping you align your program with your vision, engage parents more effectively, and ensure every child in your care is ready for kindergarten. By the time you finish the course, you’ll have lesson plans that will transform your program and the skills to save time and boost your confidence.
I created this course and lesson plans because I know family childcare providers give children something special—a nurturing, personalized, and one-of-a-kind experience. My goal is to help you take your program to the next level without sacrificing your evenings, weekends, or peace of mind.
I'm an educator and I have been teaching over a decade. So I know when students are being taught superbly, highly engaged, and loved. Authentic Education Academy, under the leadership of Mrs. Cowart, is the perfect example of what an early education school is supposed to be! Her school has very small class sizes so your student will get the individualized instruction and care that they need at this critical age. Everything Mrs. C does will far exceed your expectations! She is truly a gem and simply the best! Two of my children have attended her school and they are well-above grade level in all areas. If you want to see your child grow academically, boost their confidence, and love learning, then look no further! This is the school for your child!

In short, I am thoroughly impressed with this program! The attention to detail and the opportunities for growth that my child has had under Mrs. C's guidance are truly exceptional. As a result, my child has entered public school at a higher academic level compared to their peers. They have developed strong reading, writing, and critical thinking skills, which will serve as a solid foundation for their entire life. Authentic Education Academy is not a daycare; it is a comprehensive educational program that my husband and I deeply value. We only wish that it extended beyond the age of five.

I am so excited to be able to rate and review this establishment. I am a father of 5, throughout my 15 years of fatherhood I have never trusted my kids with anyone the way I do with Mrs. C. She is hands down the best caregiver and teacher I have had the pleasure of having in our lives. She is so loving and supportive of everyone she comes in contact with. The curriculum is an added bonus as they absolutely care about furthering their student’s education. I was astounded at every parent/teacher meeting to see the drastic changes in our kiddos reading, writing, etc. I can guarantee you if you put your faith in Authentic Education Academy you will not be disappointed.

There’s no words to describe how amazing Mrs C is, my son has been with her since he was 17 months, and I’m so thankful that we found her, she treats your kid as one of her own, never saw an educator so passionate on what she does, she truly has a gift. Your child is not just safe, but he learns, he is writing and doing math, she does so many activities, they learn about science, the human body, places and animals of the world, culture, cooking, gardening, she teaches him manners, how to be independent, how to love and respect others, she also works with you (as a parent) to reach to a goal. Your child will come out more than school ready! I am just so beyond thankful that we found her and I will trust my son with her over and over and over again. Will recommend her 100000%!!!

Mrs. C is so awesome, My 3 yr. old started attending here Nov of 2016 within a couple of weeks of attending here, my child's behavior, speech and overall knowledge increased. He knows the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors. This academy is ran like a true school with parent/teacher conferences. I feel secure whenever I drop my child off knowing that he is in a safe secure place. Mrs. C truly has a passion for teaching kids and a beautiful spirit. I really appreciate her for all she do.
Mr. Hampton
True to its name- Authentic real life and crucial foundational skills are taught in such a purposeful and thoughtful way! If you want your child to be prepared for school as they begin kindergarten, Authentic Education Academy ensures this happens in all the ways that matter. They really take into account preparedness for you little one not only educationally but emotionally, socially and developmentally as well!
