🎙️ Learning With Kelsey: Early Childhood Education & Motherhood | A TME Conversation with Kelsey Cook

In this episode of The Motherhood Experience, I’m joined by Kelsey Cook—a preschool teacher turned entrepreneur who turned a simple act of love during the pandemic into a thriving business supporting moms and young learners. What started as porch pickups of activity packets has become a nationwide subscription box that brings fun, intentional learning into homes every month.

When schools shut down in early 2020, Kelsey Cook didn’t panic—she pivoted. As a young mom and home-based preschool teacher, she knew her students still needed hands-on learning, and her fellow moms needed support. Her solution? Thoughtfully prepared preschool activity kits left on her porch for contactless pickup.

That small gesture sparked something big. Today, she runs a successful subscription box business that delivers age-appropriate learning and crafting activities to families across the country. In this episode, we talk about the unexpected path from teacher to founder, how she balances motherhood with entrepreneurship, and why early childhood education matters now more than ever.

Kelsey Cook is a mom, educator, and founder of a booming early childhood subscription box company born out of her passion for learning through play. Her journey from classroom to creative business owner is full of heart, resilience, and smart problem-solving—qualities that make her such a relatable and inspiring guest.

  • How the pandemic sparked a creative business idea from her front porch

  • What makes hands-on learning so powerful for young children

  • How she built a subscription box business while raising little ones

  • The real-life rhythms of balancing entrepreneurship and early motherhood

  • Encouragement for moms who want to pursue a passion but don’t know where to start
