About Us
Vision
To provide an educational space that is innovative, accessible, and parent approved. Where every aspect caters not just to the student but enriches the entire educational experience for the whole family. A space that not only caters to the needs of the student but also recognizes and supports the busy modern-day parents. To equip both students and parents with the tools and resources they need to succeed, provide enrichment and resources, and offer friendship by cultivating community and fostering inclusivity.
Mission
To operate beyond the limitations of traditional education by recognizing that a student's growth encompasses more than just academic development; it encompasses the entire family's well-being. Our services will equip students with the tools necessary for success across both academic and personal contexts. In launching our educational initiative that focuses on each student individually, we can assure students and parents that the systemic problems hindering traditional mainstream schools can and will be alleviated. Because our children deserve better.

Jessica Hollander is a doctoral student in Educational Leadership, a stay-at-home mom, and a parent educator. Jessica received her master’s degree in Psychology with a specialization in Neuroscience and Research from Southern Connecticut State University and has over ten years of experience owning and operating a business.
When embarking on her journey to home educate her children, she was surprised at the lack of resources, community, and support that was available to her. It was then that she decided to build something great for her children and all other parent educators with similar struggles. With her passion for education, the love for her children, and the formal training in leading an educational institution- The Hub was born.
When she is not busy home educating her two children, she is working on building the vision of The Hub to offer home education as an option for all families.
