Mimi Rothschild is the co-founder of LearningByGrace.org, an organization dedicated to providing parents with innovative online Christian homeschool curricula. Her path towards the education world is long and winding and includes a variety of experiences.
Rothschild got her professional start in retail, owning and operating at twenty-three retail store chains throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. For eight years, she designed and manufactured collectable dolls in three continents, founding The Rothschild Doll Company. Her dolls were sold in toy shops all over the world such as FAO Schwartz. From there, she designed figurines for clients like Walt Disney and the Franklin Mint. Following her design career, she founded a clothing company dedicated to providing needy families in struggling countries with gently-used clothing.
It was at this point in her life that Mimi turned her eye to the world of home education. She had homeschooled several of her eight children previously and was passionate about providing other families with home education information. From the beginning of her homeschool experience, she was an outspoken voice in the home education world, authoring books and writing articles. With the advent of the internet, Rothschild realized that it could provide homeschool families with courses tailor made for their lifestyles.
