FeaturedLittle Risers Schoolhouse
Little Risers Schoolhouse is a faith-based, back-to-basics school located in Surprise. Our mission is to help raise the next generation to know the Lord, in education, and life skills! We begin each day with the pledges, Bible time, and standard-based academics to build a strong educational foundation for every child. After academics, we transition into hands-on life skills learning, where students engage in meaningful activities such as gardening, caring for our farm animals, cooking, sewing, and more. Our goal is to nurture the whole child academically, spiritually, and practically by helping them grow in knowledge, character, and real-life skills. We offer a full-time program Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with before and aftercare available for families who need additional flexibility.

Charchelly’s Culinary Academy
Charchelly’s Culinary Academy At Charchelly’s Culinary Academy, we believe the kitchen is where confidence, creativity, and life skills are built. Our mission is to reconnect children, teens, and families with the heart of the home by teaching real cooking—not just recipes, but the knowledge and techniques that create capable, confident home cooks for life. In a world filled with convenience foods and fast-paced schedules, we are committed to preserving the art of scratch cooking while making learning fun, engaging, and accessible for every student. Founded by Chef Charles, a culinary professional with over 20 years of industry experience, and Chef Michelle, a passionate recipe developer and educator, our academy blends professional culinary training with a warm, family-centered environment. Together, we teach students that cooking is more than preparing a meal—it’s a lifelong skill that builds independence, teamwork, problem-solving, math, science, cultural appreciation, and self-confidence. Our programs serve children, teens, homeschool families, and adults throughout Arizona. We offer weekly culinary classes, homeschool enrichment, birthday parties, private lessons, family cooking experiences, seasonal camps, workshops, and community events. Classes are intentionally kept small so every student receives individualized instruction, hands-on practice, and meaningful mentorship. A typical class begins with kitchen safety, sanitation, and an introduction to the day’s culinary skill. Students then practice professional techniques such as knife skills, measuring, food preparation, seasoning, cooking methods, baking fundamentals, and plating. Every student prepares food from scratch using fresh ingredients while learning the “why” behind each technique. Classes conclude with tasting, reflection, cleanup, and recipe discussions so students leave with both knowledge and confidence they can immediately use at home. Our curriculum goes far beyond simply following recipes. Students develop real-world culinary skills including: * Knife safety and proper cutting techniques * Kitchen organization and food safety * Baking and pastry fundamentals * International and cultural cuisine * Scratch cooking and meal preparation * Sauce making and seasoning * Budget-friendly meal planning * Nutrition and healthy cooking habits * Teamwork, communication, and leadership * Creativity and recipe development What truly makes Charchelly’s Culinary Academy different is our focus on building life skills through culinary education. Every lesson is designed to help students become more independent, confident, and capable both inside and outside the kitchen. We create an encouraging environment where mistakes become learning opportunities, curiosity is celebrated, and every student is empowered to succeed regardless of previous cooking experience. Whether a child dreams of becoming a chef, wants to help prepare family meals, needs practical life skills before adulthood, or simply enjoys creating something delicious, our academy provides a welcoming space where every student can grow. We aren’t just teaching people how to cook—we’re helping build confidence, strengthen families, preserve culinary traditions, and inspire the next generation to create meaningful memories around the table.

Tim Ansley Music Lesson(The Psalmist)
I've been blessed to have been able to use the God given talents in music to play trumpet and auxiliary percussion for 50+ years. I had the privilege to have had opportunities to play in many different settings, professionally and voluntarily with most of my time spent in worship settings at the church my family and I attend.I was the instrumental music director at a private Christian school for 6 years and ran 2 different music schools catering to home school families. I teach Private Music lessons focusing on all brass instruments(trumpet, trombone, tuba, etc.), auxiliary percussion, and young elementary recorder. I teach beginning and intermediate levels on most brass and percussion, and up to advanced level on Trumpet. I will teach private and some mixed groups. I can come to your home school group meetings also to hold lessons. I look forward to serving your families and helping to train up your children in their God given talents.
