Most early education programs focus on schools and teachers. We build on that foundation to include a focus on families. If parents have the right knowledge and tools, children thrive.
Kids learn by observing, so supporting parents is the most powerful way to create change.
Learning starts at home—children thrive when families nurture, support, and guide them.
Kids don’t just learn when we teach them—they learn by watching, listening, and experiencing.
Jason Bern grew up knowing that early education is about more than the classroom—it’s about the connections between children, families, and educators. As the son of a preschool and elementary school teacher, he saw how the best learning environments nurture the whole family, equipping parents with the tools and confidence to support their child’s growth.
That vision shaped his career. In 2020, Jason founded Preschool From Home, a virtual early learning platform that:
• Enrolled 500+ children ages 3-5
• Built a team of 30+ passionate teachers
• Developed scalable systems to support families and educators
Mentored by a former divisional CEO of KinderCare, Jason has spent years refining his expertise in early education and business growth. But at the heart of his work is a simple belief: young children thrive when their families are supported, informed, and empowered.
That’s why he founded TrueGenius—a company that goes beyond traditional preschool models to embrace a whole-family curriculum. Through parent education, expert-led resources on child development, and a connected community of support, TrueGenius ensures that early learning doesn’t stop when a child leaves the classroom. Instead, it becomes a foundation for lifelong success—built together.
