From One Family to a Community Movement

When my family first moved to Arizona, we were so excited for everything that was waiting for us! I remember driving down that long stretch of desert and thinking, what BEAUTIFUL DIRT.

But it didn’t take long for this place to feel like home. Within the first week, neighbors showed up to help us unload our moving truck. We traded phone numbers with new friends, and slowly, we discovered something special here. Four years later, we still love this community and the people in it.

The only thing we felt was missing? More opportunities for our kids to learn, grow, and connect.

If you’re a parent in Arizona, you might also know the feeling. The options for classes, camps, and activities are limited — especially for homeschool families. I knew something had to change.

So I decided to build what I had always been searching for.

Home Is Our Sanctuary was born out of the belief that our kids deserve more. More chances to discover their talents. More mentors to inspire them. More community. And we can create it, together.

What Local Families Are Saying

I can't believe how much my daughter looks forward to Wednesdays now! Laura's lessons are engaging and creative, while Conni is warm to my daughter. Its such a blessing to finally have a fun, artsy activity right here in Maricopa.

- Jessica M.

My son's creativity has blossomed under Laura's guidance at Haven. Her weekly projects have sparked his imagination. Conni is gentle and is often right near him when I look into the class. We're really grateful for Haven Art Academy; it's been a great addition to our summer in Maricopa this year.

- Rachel J.

Enrolling in Haven Art Academy was the best decision of the summer. The teachers have beautifully balanced technique and play for my kids.
