Nana Turtle and the Scared Little Shell

Jennifer Probus

Homeschool Mom, Creative Entrepreneur, and Founder of Tiny Turtle Learning

Jennifer Probus is a homeschool mom, creative entrepreneur, and founder of Tiny Turtle Learning, a family-centered brand dedicated to helping parents feel confident in their child’s educational journey. With a heart for children, family, and faith, Jennifer has spent years creating learning experiences, resources, and encouragement for families navigating homeschooling, preschool, and kindergarten readiness. Drawing from her own experiences as a mother and homeschool educator, Jennifer understands the challenges parents face and the importance of making learning both meaningful and enjoyable. Her passion for early childhood education led to the development of Tiny Turtle Learning, where she helps families through engaging curriculum, storybooks, activities, and practical resources designed to build confidence in young learners. One of the most meaningful parts of Tiny Turtle Learning is Nana Turtle, a beloved character inspired by Jennifer’s mother. Nana Turtle was created to reflect the love, warmth, wisdom, and gentle guidance her mother shared with her family and grandchildren. Many of the Nana Turtle stories are inspired by real-life moments, lessons, and memories that Jennifer experienced growing up and now hopes to pass along to other families. Jennifer also has a creative background in photography, design, and storytelling, which she incorporates into the heart of her work. She believes that every child learns differently and that parents should feel supported, encouraged, and equipped along the way. Alongside her husband and family, Jennifer lives on a small farm in Arkansas, where they enjoy homeschooling, raising their children, and building businesses that align with their values and purpose. Through her work, Jennifer hopes to inspire families, make learning less overwhelming, and remind parents that they do not have to do it alone.
