The Learning Binders · Ages 1–5
One Binder. Five Minutes. Real Learning.
Seven years ago I made the first Learning Binder for my son, to teach him at home without hours of prep. When I shared it online, parents, teachers and speech therapists fell in love with it — and thousands of kids have been learning through play ever since.
Pick The Level, Not The Perfect Plan.
Each binder is a reusable book of hands-on games built for one stage of development. Print it, or let me prep it. Open to any page and start there — five minutes a day is genuinely enough.

What Parents Are Saying

“Everything Alexa creates is based on research. I sit with my daughter and play through the activities. Some days it’s hard to put the book away — she says ‘play play’ and reaches for the binder.”

Not Sure Which Level?
What if my child is between levels?
Go by skills, not birthdays. If your child has mastered most of what a level covers, move up. If they’re still working on it, stay put — repetition is the point.
Can I use two levels at once?
Yes, and lots of families do. Level 3 and Level 4 pair especially well once a child knows their colors, shapes and the letters in their name.
I’m not crafty — will this work for me?
Print, and you’re ready. Laminating and Velcro are optional extras — or choose an Open & Play version and it arrives fully prepped.
How is this different from My First School?
They’re built to work together. The binders are quick, 5-minute games for academic basics. My First School is a fuller daily plan with longer, hands-on activities that go deeper into fine motor and sensory play.
A Little Each Day Is Enough.
Every day you wait is a day your child could be learning with you — in five minutes.
