We’re Stephanie and Alexandria—mamas, dear friends, and the hearts behind The Unbound Collective. With five little ones between us, we created this space out of a deep love for our families and a shared vision for something freer, fuller, and more intentional than traditional schooling ever offered.
Rooted in curiosity, wonder, and community, The Unbound Collective is a homeschool co-op designed for families who believe that education should be as expansive as childhood itself. Here, learning is not confined—it’s cultivated through meaningful connection, thoughtful experiences, and the freedom to grow at our own rhythm.
Our guiding belief? That our children are raised to question, empowered to lead.
If you’re longing for a place where your values are mirrored, your children are seen, and your family is supported—you just might be one of us.
Welcome.
Behind the Collective
Founders & Visionaries
A registered nurse by training, Stephanie spent years working in both cardiac care and mental health, holding space for the complexities of the human experience—both physical and emotional. Over time, her understanding of healing deepened, expanding beyond hospital walls and into the quiet, transformative world of motherhood. She chose to step away from clinical practice to embrace what she believes is life’s most meaningful work: raising and educating her children. Today, she pours that same compassion, presence, and intuition into the home she now guides with gentle rhythm and reverent intention. As a home educator, Stephanie is driven not by benchmarks or busywork, but by a desire to protect wonder, nurture curiosity, and create a space where her children can grow deeply rooted in who they are—unhurried, unbound, and wholly seen.

Alexandria Haechler is a former New York City fashion editor whose work has been published in titles including Women’s Wear Daily, TeenVogue, T: The New York Times Style Magazine, The Coveteur, Gotham, Hamptons and Upstate Woman. After relocating to Fairfield County and settling in Westport, Connecticut in 2021, she has channeled her love of writing into homeschooling her three young children, Luc, Mattias, and Margot. Her primary mission as a home educator is to avoid academic burnout by fostering a lifelong love of learning. Emboldening her children to raise questions, think critically, and evolve without fear, she hopes that each of them will, one day, leave home empowered and boundless. In her spare time, Alexandria can be found in her cutting garden amongst her flowers, meandering through the Westport Farmer’s Market, or experimenting in her kitchen with anything fleetingly, yet intoxicatingly, seasonal from chanterelles to lilacs to persimmons.
