What we want for every family.
To be supported.
Regardless of the type of school your child attends, everyone can benefit from a little extra support. We work one-on-one or holistically to make sure that your child feels supported in their education experience.
To have a confident learner.
The tools to learn are different for each and every student. When your child is confident in their ability to learn, it shows.
To have a happy child.
If your child isn’t feeling confident and secure in their learning journey, it can cause a feedback loop of stress surrounding education. Let’s build your child up by addressing their individual needs so they can learn joyfully.

“I am beyond thankful for Alayne’s guidance and expertise with my Kindergartener who struggled with reading. She used different learning tactics to appeal to all senses which helped my daughter excel. I couldn’t recommend her services more! I think everyone should have a Ms. Alayne in their child’s life- my daughter’s love for learning and confidence exploded in the time she worked with her!”
— Claire Tidmore, Parent

“My child has progressed visibly in his reading as well as in his enjoyment of reading. He looks forward to his sessions. We are delighted with the communication and so happy to have your team on board!!"

“Alayne has been incredible. I am thankful for all of her hard work, love, and dedication to students. I have seen so much growth in my student. Her confidence has grown so much. She has fallen in love with reading, because of Alayne. She truly is a remarkable person.”

I cannot recommend highly enough Alayne and Waypoint. We have seen tremendous improvement in our daughter's reading skills and reading confidence since she has been working with Alayne. Alayne's weekly summaries and communication are outstanding and she provides tremendous value. We are so thankful for Alayne and the support she has provided to our family.”

“Alayne’s gentle spirit and the way she has connected with our daughter, has truly made a life changing impact on her reading. The confidence, growth, and understanding our daughter has gained in such a short amount of time is astounding! Alayne’s program and extensive use of hands-on learning has created an environment for our daughter to strive and grow in immense love of reading and writing! Alayne’s weekly summaries help us to understand and engage in our daughter’s learning process. Alayne is just an overall beautiful human being and such a kind soul and we feel extremely blessed to have her in our lives!”

“Waypoint Education is a gift to your child. Our child's educational outlook has transformed from constant struggle and frustration to exuberant flourishing. Alayne is invested in each child she works with, she really gets to know who your child is - is engaged in what they love and uses their interests as learning tools for writing and reading comprehension. Learning with Alayne is fun and dynamic and thus the results are incredible. Waypoint is child driven and helps empower your student to overcome their learning differences. Our child cannot wait to work with Alayne each day. Waypoint has injected joy into the learning process and for a child who struggles with learning differences, this is a gift that has transformed my child's outlook on school. We are forever grateful for Alayne and for Waypoint Education.“

"Mrs. Schell is excellent. My daughter looks forward to her sessions every week and has gained so much confidence. For the first time she's reading because she wants to, not because she has to."
-Whitney Meagher, Parent

"My student loves working with Alayne and enjoys her positive love of learning. He enjoys the unique and creative modalities she uses to teach a concept. She is an answered prayer to my student's reading journey."

"With a newly diagnosed dyslexic kiddo, we were looking to keep momentum this summer, as well as educate ourselves on strategies that we could use to help him. Alayne was AWESOME! She was so flexible and responsive. My son was so sad when his summer sessions ended. We will definitely be back next summer!"

"We are so grateful for Waypoint and Jacquelyn. Our son was on the Waypoint reading intervention waitlist for several months, and it was certainly worth the wait. The time spent with Jacquelyn was effective and efficient. Jacquelyn was able to tap into his interests to make the learning experience enjoyable and effective. The detailed weekly reports were amazing. Over a few short months we witnessed a complete transformation; our child started with minimal reading skills, relying substantially on memorization, and has since become a complete bookworm reading at grade level. Before working with Waypoint it was very difficult to motivate him to practice reading skills and now we cannot stop him from staying up late at night to read. I enthusiastically recommend Waypoint to any family facing reading challenges with their child."
