About A Plan in Place
We build simple, practical planners so your family can spend less time managing chaos and more time learning together.
Our story
A Plan in Place was created to help families move through the school year with less overwhelm and more confidence. Instead of scattered notes, shifting plans, and mental clutter, the goal is to give homeschool parents one calm place to organize what matters most.
The planner is designed to feel practical, clear, and encouraging — something that supports real life, not just ideal routines. It is meant to make planning easier, teaching smoother, and the day a little lighter.
About us
When the founders of A Plan in Place, Suzie and Kim met at a moms’ homeschool support group, they had no idea of the journey they would be taking. From the start, they saw that they were like-minded in how they schooled and raised their kids. Within a few months of meeting, they had begun a highly successful co-op. Then, before they had known each other for a year, they had the crazy idea of going into business together.
The founders
Co-Founder
Suzie had been creating planners for her own two boys for several years before starting A Plan in Place with Kim. She is passionate about encouraging new homeschool moms. She enjoys showing them how to get organized and gain confidence, and she believes whole-heartedly that using student planners can do just that.
Co-Founder
Kim had actually never used a planner for her kids before meeting Suzie. Now she doesn’t know how she ever homeschooled without one! It has simplified the entire homeschooling process for her and makes everything run more smoothly. With four kids spanning 8 years, anything that helps to control the chaos is a definite plus.
Second generation
Owner
In 2020, Kim and Suzie were wanting to step away from the business. Their children were not students anymore and their sights were set in a new direction. Isaiah and his wife Lucy saw the opportunity to purchase the business and after a few meetings, both parties decided it would be a good move. Isaiah has been running A Plan in Place for the past several years.
What guides us
At the heart of A Plan in Place is our desire to help homeschool families raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. We believe that when moms have simple, effective tools to bring order to their days, they have more margin to focus on what matters most — discipling their children, building godly character, and pointing them to Jesus in the ordinary moments of learning and life.
By creating planners that encourage students to take responsibility for their own work and reduce the constant “What do I do next, Mom?” questions, we hope to free up families to invest more deeply in the spiritual training of their children. Our prayer is that these tools would support you as you seek to bring up your kids in a way that honors the Lord.
