The Earthlings Program
Three pillars that define how we approach education for every child in our cooperative.
Whole-Child Approach
Social Emotional Development & Fine/Gross Motor Development through Music, Movement, Mindfulness, Art, Cooking, and Community Service.
Nature Studies
Earthlings Instructors specialize in Ecology, Gardening, Herbalism, Sustainability Practices, and Food Science.
Our Program
Earthlings Learning values child-centered, holistic education — prioritizing social-emotional development alongside core academics and specialty subjects. Our curriculum draws from Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia methodologies, promoting hands-on, nature-based inquiry, exploration, and discovery. This cooperative space offers both indoor and outdoor portions throughout the day to achieve the balance our program strives for.
Our Week
Every morning begins with core academics — Math & Language Arts. Afternoons are dedicated to our signature themed enrichment.
Movement & Mindfulness Mondays
Centered around slowing down and going at our own individual pace — setting the flow and tone for the school week ahead.
Afternoon Enrichment
Tea ceremony, guided yoga and meditation, and physical activities and games that strengthen gross and fine motor skills, team building, and self-confidence.
Time Travel Tuesdays
Immersive lessons in cultural studies, history, and storytelling through engaging projects and activities.
Afternoon Enrichment
American Sign Language, local Native American history, and projects weaving multi-cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, and archeology.
Workshop Wednesdays
A deep focus into hands-on art and maker projects that emphasize sustainable, eco-friendly practices.
Afternoon Enrichment
Painting, mixed media, needle work, wood work, cooking meals with ingredients from our garden, and re-purposing materials.
Nature Study Thursdays
Creating the mind-to-body connection in nature — a balanced way to wrap up our week as naturalists of our own communities.
Afternoon Enrichment
Ecology, entomology, and the natural history of South Florida's rich, diverse biomes and ecosystems. Monthly field trips to local parks, beaches, and environmental education centers.

Step Up For Students — we’re an approved provider (PEP reimbursement)
Big news for our Earthlings community: PEP scholarship families can be reimbursed for tuition and enrollment fees.
Earthlings Co. is proud to announce that we are now an approved provider under the Step Up For Students program. This means that families who are recipients of the Personalized Education Program (PEP) Scholarship can have their enrollment fees and tuition reimbursed directly through the program.
What this means for your family
If your child is a PEP Scholarship recipient, the cost of attending our enrichment learning program may now be fully reimbursable. This opens the door for more homeschooling families in North Miami Beach to access the hands-on, nature-connected education that Earthlings Co. provides—without the full financial weight falling on your shoulders.
We believe that transformative learning experiences should be accessible to all, and this partnership with Step Up For Students brings us one step closer to that vision.
How it works
The process is straightforward. Once your child is enrolled in our program, you can submit your tuition and enrollment fee expenses to Step Up For Students for reimbursement, in accordance with their guidelines. Our administrator, Gloria Lopez, is available to provide any necessary documentation, receipts, or verification forms to support your reimbursement submissions.
While we can’t guarantee the approval of individual reimbursement claims (those decisions sit with Step Up For Students), we’re fully committed to making the process as smooth as possible for our families.
Want to get started?
If you are a PEP Scholarship family interested in joining Earthlings Co., or a currently enrolled family ready to begin the reimbursement process, we are here to help.
Reach out to us directly, and we will walk you through what you need—whether that is an enrollment verification, an itemized receipt, or simply answering your questions about how our program aligns with your scholarship.
Contact Gloria Lopez, Business Administrator, through our contact form.
We’re deeply grateful to serve this community and honored to help make enriching education more accessible to your family. Thank you for growing with us.

Our Story
A teacher, a vision,
and a community
that said yes
Earthlings Learning Cooperative began with a shared frustration and a bold dream. Miss Leeza Abramov — a dedicated and passionate educator with a deep love for hands-on, child-centered learning — had long envisioned a program that would serve the growing homeschooling community in a meaningful way.
When a small group of local homeschooling parents heard her vision, something clicked. Together, they combined their lived experience as families navigating home education with Miss Leeza's teaching expertise to build something their community was desperately missing: a cooperative where children could learn together, grow together, and truly thrive.
What started around a kitchen table has become a thriving cooperative — built by parents, led by educators, and made for kids.
