Why I Started The Adventure of Coucou and Jah
I created The Adventure of Coucou and Jah out of love—pure, deep, unconditional love for my children. As a mother of three, every day I’m reminded of how powerful it is to let your children know: You are loved. Just as you are.
Coucou, Jah, and Baba are the heart behind this show. They are curious, joyful, bold, and full of big emotions. And in our home, love is the foundation for everything—how we speak, how we learn, how we grow. I wanted to build a world where they could see themselves, hear their voices, and feel their worth. A world that says you matter, you are beautiful, and you are deeply loved.
I started this journey because I want my children—and all Black children—to know they are special. Even when the media fails to show their light, I want them to know their brilliance cannot be dimmed. I want them to feel seen and celebrated. I want them to lead with kindness, curiosity, and most of all… with love.
At its heart, this show is a reflection of how I guide my children through life’s everyday ups and downs—how we explore emotions, work through challenges, and lean into joy together. It’s the way I homeschool, parent, and pour myself into the little details of our daily life. And now, it’s a gift I hope to share with families everywhere.
Because when children grow up knowing they are loved, they learn how to love others. And in the end, that’s what the world needs most.

Our Philosophy
We believe children learn best through a balance of play, exploration, and structured learning. At age four, curiosity is natural—our role is to guide it gently while nurturing a love for learning. This curriculum blends hands-on activities, creative play, and foundational academics, making learning joyful and meaningful.
Our Goals
By the end of the program, your child will:
- Build confidence with numbers 1–20, counting, and early math concepts
- Recognize and write letters A–Z while developing early reading skills
- Strengthen fine motor skills through drawing, tracing, and hands-on projects
- Grow in creativity with art, music, and imaginative play
- Develop early social-emotional skills like sharing, patience, and kindness
- Explore the world through science, nature, and problem-solving activities
How the Curriculum is Structured
- 36 Weeks of Learning: A full year of daily lesson plans
- Thematic Units: Each week focuses on a fun theme (animals, seasons, community helpers, etc.)
- Daily Mix of Subjects: Reading, math, art, science, movement, and play
- Printable Worksheets & Activities: Hands-on practice designed for little learners
- Flexible Format: Adaptable for homeschool, preschool classrooms, or co-ops
Our Approach
We follow a “play-to-learn” model, where academics are introduced through engaging activities, stories, and games. Children are encouraged to ask questions, make discoveries, and express themselves. The goal is not just memorization, but building a foundation of confidence, creativity, and curiosity that lasts a lifetime.
What I Hope Children Take Away
More than anything, I want all children—especially Black children—to know they are brilliant, powerful, and full of potential. I hope The Adventure of Coucou and Jah helps them find their voice, express their feelings, and demonstrate love in all they do.
By learning to understand and manage their emotions, I believe children can grow into strong, thoughtful, and compassionate individuals—capable of unlocking every bit of the greatness within them.
I want them to know that love isn’t just something we receive—it’s something we give, something we live by, and something that makes the world a better place. And no matter what messages they may see in the world, they are worthy, seen, and so deeply loved.
