Homeschool Dad

Homeschool Dad Beta

Useful tools for fathers who want to lead more of the homeschool load.

This project is for dads who want something more practical than scrolling for ideas. The first public tool is an outing finder: enter a ZIP code, set a radius, and get parks, trails, museums, nature spots, and other dad-worthy field trip options within a realistic drive window.

Why this exists

Homeschooling gets easier when dads carry more of the operational load. That means knowing where to go, how far it is, and whether it is worth loading everybody into the car. This tool exists to reduce the friction between “we should do something educational” and “we have a real plan for today.”

It is still early. The routing is estimated, the map sources are imperfect, and the scoring will get smarter. But it is already useful enough to put in front of real families.

Ready. Start with your ZIP code.

Drive time is estimated for now. Later we can swap in real routing and richer place scoring.


What is coming next

  • better dad-worthy ranking instead of raw map noise
  • filters for indoor, free, rainy-day, stroller-friendly, and age fit
  • light educational prompts for history, nature, and science conversations
  • cleaner family planning and favorites

If you test it and find a weak spot, send me a note. That is how this branch gets better.
