Education with Purpose
Together, We Can Nurture Brighter Futures in Southwest Florida
Every child deserves a joyful, enriching start in life — and every community thrives when we invest in its youngest learners. At PEEPs (Partners for Enhanced Education with Purpose), we bring parents, educators, and community partners together to make that vision a reality.
The Story of PEEPs
Founded in 2021, PEEPs (Partners for Enhanced Education with Purpose) was established to support high-quality, developmentally appropriate educational programs by fostering strong relationships among parents, teachers, schools, and the Southwest Florida community.
We recognize the real-world challenges that schools and educators face. That's why PEEPs steps in where it matters most: through grants, donations, and partnerships that make sustainable, impactful education possible.
Our vision is to help schools thrive by funding programs that put children first. We aim to be a trusted partner in building more enriching, child-centered learning environments across the region.

Tiny Friends Farm
PEEPs is proud to support Tiny Friends Farm — a cherished farm school nestled in North Fort Myers, Florida, that is redefining early childhood education through nature-based, hands-on learning.
Tiny Friends Farm offers a unique learning environment where education comes alive on a real working farm. Children spend their days:
• Interacting with small animals like goats, chickens, tortoises, and guinea pigs.
• Gardening and learning where food comes from
• Exploring nature and understanding their connection to the environment
• Engaging in play-based, child-led activities that nurture independence and creativity
This immersive approach fosters a deep sense of curiosity, responsibility, and community, essential qualities for every child's future success.
Want to make sure your gift supports Tiny Friends Farm directly? You can earmark your donation for Tiny Friends Farm to ensure every dollar benefits their programming.
What Happens When You Give?
Every dollar counts, and every donation goes straight toward creating more opportunities for young learners in our community.
Your contribution supports:
• Nature-based materials and classroom enhancements
• Ongoing teacher development & training
• Community workshops and outreach event
And because PEEPs is a registered nonprofit, your donation is 100% tax-deductible.
Meet the PEEPs Board
We are educators, parents, and community members united by a shared mission to make high-quality education accessible and sustainable in Southwest Florida.
“I’m a mentor teacher at Tiny Friends Farm and the bridge between the school and the PEEPs board. I’ve worked with Jesyca for five years, and I’m thrilled to help expand the high-quality care and education we’ve cultivated at TFF to other schools in our community. I’m excited to PARTNER and ENHANCE EDUCATION with PURPOSE.”
Haley Harvey – President
“I began my career in education over 17 years ago — including 10 years working in early childhood education with Jesyca, the visionary behind Tiny Friends Farm. Though I now work in finance, PEEPs lets me stay connected to the field I'm most passionate about. My goal is to partner with parents and teachers to create truly exceptional learning experiences.”
Michelle Keltner – Treasurer
“I am an Education Consultant, Parent Advocate, and most importantly, a mom to four amazing kids (ages 19, 17, 11, and 2). My youngest daughter is thriving at Tiny Friends Farm — the only place I’d choose for her. I founded PEEPs to help more families access the kind of education that honors each child's unique path. Walk with me as I ‘FOLLOW THE CHILD.’”
Katharine Oliver – Secretary
