Hi, I'm Heidi Edwards, founder of Gryllidae Learning Solutions. For over 27 years, I've served students in the United States and abroad, teaching in private, Catholic, public, and early childhood settings. I hold a Master's Degree in Education with an emphasis in Special Education and specialize in supporting students with autism, diverse learning needs, and language acquisition. At Gryllidae Learning Solutions, every child is known, valued, and empowered to thrive. Our microschool offers personalized, research-based instruction through experiential learning, hands-on activities, visual supports, manipulatives, and a strong phonics-based literacy program grounded in the Science of Reading. Students also benefit from our exclusive Lit Craft literacy platform, designed to build confidence and accelerate reading growth. Our mission is to help every child discover their strengths, develop confidence, and soar beyond what they ever thought possible. We don't simply teach children—we cultivate curiosity, close literacy gaps, and prepare confident learners to thrive in today's AI-driven world. Different Learners. Extraordinary Futures.
