About our Founder:
Dr. Lydia Mays has formally served the field of education for over 20 years. She has worked with children, youth, pre-service and veteran teachers, and school leaders in many capacities, ranging from being a classroom teacher to a college professor at Georgia State University where she received her PhD in Early Childhood and Elementary Education and with cognates in literacy and urban education, to a consultant with the Department of Care and Early Learning to a seasoned Coach in Residence.

Whole Child 365 exists because Dr. Mays wanted to bring "the best" (read: expertly crafted, approved, personalized, and designed) learning experiences for children into the houses of the people who know them best. She is committed to empowering parents to best understand their children's passions and learning without the intimidating lingo of the research and school-based world. The back-to-school jargon on the first "class" meeting that leaves parents reeling and feeling inept at understanding words/acronyms like: Common Core, guided reading, MAP, STEAM are broken down in digestible and fun activities for families. It's putting power in parents hands to have FUN with their children in the most impactful, short and easy to implement ways.
