✦ Built by a homeschool family in Utah County — first for our own kindergartner and three littles.
Sunday night. Nine tabs open. Sound familiar?
The planning treadmill
Hours lost to Pinterest boards, curriculum blogs, and half-finished printables — every single week. The planning takes longer than the teaching.
The littles tornado
You finally sit down for a reading lesson… and the toddler needs you, the baby's crying, and the activity falls apart. Most plans pretend siblings don't exist.
The box that doesn't fit
Boxed curricula cost hundreds, assume one child at a desk, and march to their own calendar — not your family's actual life.
Little Lights was built to end all three.
How it works
Tell it your rhythm
Two school days a week or five, two hours or three. Choose your blocks — devotional, movement, reading, math, theme projects, read-alouds — in the order that fits your mornings. Set it once.
Pick a theme — or roll the dice
Type "Our Amazing Earth" and get a 5-week themed unit. Out of ideas? Press ✨ Fill it out for me and preview a delightful unit idea — approve it, roll another, or tweak it with one sentence.
Open. Teach. Done.
Every morning, the Today view shows exactly what to do: a gather list, scripted steps you can read cold, and a "Little ones" line for the siblings. Tap Finish day and tomorrow is waiting.
What a Little Lights day looks like
A sample day from a "Volcanoes & Mountains" week — scripted start to finish, about 2 hours with wiggle room.
- Sing "My Heavenly Father Loves Me" (Children's Songbook, 228).
- Read aloud: "He set the mountains in their place" — talk about Psalm 65:6.
- Ask: What is the biggest mountain you have ever seen?
- Say a short prayer thanking Heavenly Father for the beautiful earth.
Little ones: do the actions to the song and fold arms for the prayer.
- Crouch down small like a quiet volcano.
- Count to three, then ERUPT — jump as high as you can! Repeat 5 times.
- March around the room like slow-moving lava.
Little ones: toddlers love this one as-is — keep the lava marching slow.
- Build a play dough mountain around a small cup on the tray.
- Spoon in baking soda, add a few drops of red food coloring.
- Count down from 5, pour in vinegar — eruption!
- Talk about how real volcanoes push melted rock up from inside the earth.
Little ones: help pour with hand-over-hand — expect to repeat the eruption several times!

Built at our own kitchen table
Little Lights started because our own Sunday nights looked like everyone else's: a kindergartner ready to learn, three littler ones underfoot, and a stack of beautiful curricula that never quite fit our week. So we built the planner we wished existed — one that writes the whole week around our rhythm, hands us a script every morning, and never forgets the little ones on the rug. It changed our homeschool. We think it might change yours.

Questions, answered
What is Little Lights?
Little Lights is an AI homeschool planner for families with young learners. You describe your family's weekly rhythm once — how many school days, how long, and which blocks you want (devotional, reading, math, theme projects, read-alouds) — then it writes complete, open-and-go lesson plans one themed week at a time.
How much prep time do the lesson plans need?
Essentially none. Every activity is scripted in 3–6 numbered steps written to be read cold, and each week comes with one consolidated supply list of common household items. Gather the supplies once, then just open each day and teach.
What ages is Little Lights for?
Little Lights is built around one primary learner at a kindergarten level, and every activity includes a "Little ones" line showing how toddler and preschool siblings can join in — so the whole family can participate without extra planning.
What teaching style are the lessons?
Warm and gentle. Language arts lessons are literature-rich with short phonics bursts, in the spirit of family favorites like The Good and the Beautiful. Math is conversational and hands-on using everyday objects, similar in feel to Math With Confidence. Reading and math build sequentially from week to week like a real curriculum.
Does Little Lights include religious content?
Little Lights can open each day with a short Christ-centered devotional drawn from Come, Follow Me and the Children's Songbook, simplified to a young child's level. Blocks are fully customizable, so you choose exactly which ones appear in your week.
What if I'm not creative with themes?
Press "Fill it out for me" and Little Lights pitches you a complete themed unit — title, description, and week-by-week plan. Use it as-is, roll for a different idea, or tweak it with one sentence until it feels right.
How much does it cost?
Little Lights is $8.90 per month after a 14-day free trial, with everything included. You can cancel anytime.
Can I print the lesson plans?
Yes. Every day has a one-click printable day sheet — a clean, paper-friendly script of the whole day for screen-free teaching.
Tomorrow morning can be open-and-go.
Set up your rhythm tonight — it takes about five minutes — and teach from a finished plan tomorrow.
