Empower Students. Supporting Families. Inspiring Growth.
Who Are We?
Hope, Learn & Play LLC is an educational support business built on compassion, creativity, and commitment to the whole child. Founded in 2014 in Sterling Heights, Michigan as a licensed home daycare, our journey began with a simple mission: to create a safe, nurturing environment where children could grow through learning and play.
After moving to Florida, founder Monique Harris expanded that mission by stepping into new roles as a preschool teacher, program manager, and creator of the Virtual Preschool Connection Program at the Orlando Science Center—offering critical educational support to families during the pandemic.
Now based in Winter Springs, Florida, Hope, Learn & Play serves learners from preschool through 12th grade with in-home, virtual, and on-the-go tutoring and academic coaching. We specialize in supporting neurodivergent students and families through individualized instruction, a STEAM-based early learning curriculum, and conscious discipline techniques that help children build confidence, focus, and social-emotional strength.
We proudly partner with schools, homeschool groups like Williams Academy of Excellence, and organizations looking to offer engaging, inclusive learning experiences. Every lesson, workshop, and coaching session is designed to uplift the whole family—not just the student.
Looking Ahead:
We envision a future where families everywhere have access to educational support that’s responsive, inclusive, and joyful. Our goals include expanding our virtual services, growing community-based enrichment programs, and creating safe learning spaces where children feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Being a working parent or caregiver isn’t easy, especially in today’s world.
Many families are caught between the demands of work and the responsibility of caring for their children. It’s a challenge I understand deeply, because I’ve lived it.
I’ve always had a passion for helping children learn and grow, but for years, I hadn’t found a way to turn that passion into a purpose-driven career. After the birth of my first child and during maternity leave, I realized that returning to my job in management wouldn’t be the best choice for our family. So, I took a leap of faith. I left my corporate role and opened a Licensed Home Daycare through the State of Michigan and Hope, Learn & Play was born.
As our family grew and relocated to Florida, so did the vision for this work. I became a full-time preschool teacher, worked with Florida VPK programs, and facilitated after-school enrichment. While working at the Orlando Science Center, I created and led the Virtual Preschool Connection Program, helping families navigate remote learning during the pandemic. That experience deepened my commitment to supporting children and their families through changing times.
Today, Hope, Learn & Play LLC is a full-service educational support business offering tutoring, homeschool enrichment, early learning classes, and caregiver-student workshops for families across Central Florida and beyond. We specialize in working with neurodivergent learners and children who benefit from a more personalized, play-based, and emotionally supportive approach to education.
Through continued study, hands-on experience, and a deep love for what I do, I’ve dedicated my life to helping children build not just academic skills, but confidence, emotional awareness, and a genuine love for learning. What the past few years have taught us is that learning doesn’t have to look the same for every child and that caregivers deserve support, too.
At Hope, Learn & Play, we meet families where they are. Our mission is to provide the academic, social, and emotional tools your child needs to thrive, while giving you, the caregiver, the encouragement and resources to feel empowered along the way.
I look forward to walking alongside your family on this journey.
Sincerely,
Ms. Monique
