Personalized homeschool activities

    A homeschool day with room for their ideas.

    Keep the curriculum you chose. Use Nookly to turn today’s question — dinosaurs, flour, a bug on the step — into an activity, printable, video or story built around your child.

    Funding

    ESA funding eligibility

    Some US states offer Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) that help pay for approved learning materials. Each program sets its own rules.

    1. 1

      Check eligibility

      See if your state runs an ESA and whether your child qualifies.

    2. 2

      Review approved expenses

      Each program lists the products and vendors it accepts.

    3. 3

      Keep receipts

      Most programs ask for proof of what you bought and how it's used.

    Want Nookly in your state's ESA?

    Tell us where you live. Each request helps us know where to apply.

    Nookly doesn't decide ESA eligibility or give legal advice. Confirm details with your state's program.

    How Nookly works

    Made in five stepsFrom child to finished thing, in five steps.

    Step one

    First, Nookly gets to know the child.

    Before anything is made, you tell Nookly who this child actually is — how they look, who lives in their house, the friends and pets they talk about, and what they are obsessed with this month. Everything Nookly creates later is built from this one profile.

    Set up once. Reused in everything after.

    Siblings, same table

    Different learnersOne family. Different learners.

    The six-year-old wants to count. The nine-year-old wants to argue about it.

    You describe each child — age, interests, what’s clicking and what isn’t — and create a version that fits. Same topic, different depth, so the whole table can work on volcanoes together.

    Nookly makes the material. You still decide what’s next, what’s working and when it’s time for a break.

    Count the volcano layers, color the lava, retell it with a toy.
    The older one
    Compare two eruptions, write a headline, present the evidence at dinner.
