Our Core Values

Holistic Education

Traditional schools focus primarily on children’s academic success whereas homeschooling provides you  the unique opportunity to focus on life skills, emotional intelligence, the child’s interest and learning style just to name a few.

Interest Based Learning

Every child is born with an innate desire to learn and explore things that captivate their interest. We value interest-based learning for children, understanding that their curiosity is the main driver of their learning.

Play Centric

Children thrive when they're given the freedom to play and learn on their own terms. That's why I’ve created a special 'third space' where kids can freely choose their activities. Here, they not only have fun but also develop essential social skills by interacting with other children.

The visionary behind Bougie Beginnings

Meet Dominique Roddey

Former Teacher Turned Lifestyle Brand Founder

In one corner of the classroom, you'll find me, Dominique Roddey, a passionate educator dedicated to nurturing young minds. With years of experience in the teaching field, I witnessed the transformative power of education firsthand. But beyond textbooks and lesson plans, I discovered a deeper calling: to ignite creativity, build confidence, and support homeschooling families.

​

As my journey unfolded, I realized that my passion for education was just the beginning. I yearned to create a space where individuals could thrive creatively, embrace their uniqueness, and prioritize their well-being. And so, Bougie Beginnings was born – a culmination of my experiences as a teacher and my vision for a better future for children.

"Since his first day working with Dominique, our 8-year-old son has shown a bigger interest in learning, and most of all his confidence has been boosted. He finds joy in the learning activities that we do together during the week and feels more positive that he can increase his grades. At the beginning of the year he was failing math, however, with her help I am confident that he can improve as well as do good on his testing. He recently brought home a test that he took and showed us that received a B grade. Having a tutor has alleviated a lot of stress in our lives, and also has been a joy because we feel that we have another advocate to help us improve. Thank you so much for believing in my son and having the time and patience with him."
