✨Meet Lume Enrichment — Where Learning Lights Up!

Hi there! We’re the Mello family — a homeschool family based in Nampa, Idaho, and the heart behind Lume Enrichment. I’m Obre, a certified teacher turned homeschool mom who traded in the traditional classroom for a hands-on, heart-led approach to learning. After years in public education (and now navigating homeschool life with our own two kids!), we built Lume as the kind of place we always wished existed — creative, flexible, welcoming, and just the right mix of structure and freedom.

Lume Enrichment currently offers secular hybrid homeschool classes for Preschool through 5th Grade, led by certified educators in a warm and engaging environment. Classes run from 9 AM to 1 PM, with 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day options to support different needs and schedules. In the future we hope to add more elective classes that your family will enjoy. We’d love to welcome your family into our growing community of curious, creative learners.

MATH’S BEST FRIEND

WHY MAD DOG MATH IS SO IMPORTANT IN THE ELEMENTARY YEARS:

The foundation for strong math literacy is math facts mastery. It is the gateway to fractions, which in turn, is the gateway to algebra. Students who master their addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts are better able to tackle higher-level math problems as they get older.

There are some tricks to learning the facts, but mostly it is by hard work, deliberate intention, and repetition that these facts are acquired. The tricks will be introduced and the Mad Dog Math system will be used in the classroom, as well as math games and Marcy Cook Tile cards to help students learn their facts.

If your child finds math frightening, laborious, discouraging, is in need of acquiring the facts or is in need of moving from accuracy to automaticity (fast, accurate, and with very little thought), then this is the class for him or her. The multi-level class will be broken up into groups by grade level or ability. All students will move through the 3 stations (Teacher Station, Math Games Station, and the Marcy Cook Tile Station) each week and will begin mastering their facts at their own pace. 1st and 2nd graders will focus on the addition and subtraction facts while students in 3rd grade and up will concentrate on the multiplication and division facts. Ten minutes of practice with flash cards and the online Mad Dog

Math games are required daily (Mon-Fri) to progress.

Welcome to Team Rhino’s New Homeschool Jiu-Jitsu Classes! 

Why Parents Choose Us!

✅ Confidence That Lasts
Your child will develop inner strength by learning techniques that work in real-life situations.

✅ Discipline & Focus
Engaging classes helps kids build focus for success in school, at home, and beyond.

✅ Respect & Resilience
We teach kids to respect themselves and others while developing the resilience to face challenges head-on.

✅ Self-Defense Techniques
Authentic Helio Gracie techniques empower kids to defend themselves against larger, stronger opponents.

Why Team Rhino Stands Out

✅ 32 Years of Experience
We've been serving the community for over three decades, refining our programs for exceptional results.

✅ Structured, Age-Specific Curriculum

If you would like to have your child attend three free classes before the classes begin on September 8th, click this link below to schedule them! 

Ages 4-6 

Ages 7-14 

You now have two flexible enrollment options to fit your family’s schedule and needs:

Option 1: 6-Week Session-Based Program

Perfect for families who want to try Jiu-Jitsu without a long-term commitment.

Cost: $120 per child (no discounts available due to limited space). 

Schedule (Limit 20 per age group):

• 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Ages 4–9
  
  

• 12:10 PM – 1:10 PM: Ages 10-14

Details 

• 1 class per week for 6 weeks
  
  

• This is short-term and not consistent; students may not 

progress at the same rate as those in the monthly program

• Gi is required 

Option 2: Monthly Program (3-Month Commitment at a time)

Designed for students who want to progress in Team Rhinos curriculum and Belt promotions,  just like our evening students.

Begins: September 8, 2025

Cost: $73/month (plus $2.99 processing fee)

Commitment: 3 months at a time (billed monthly via auto-draft) with the option to continue renewing your child into the program. 

Why Choose This Option?

• Follows our full evening class curriculum.

• If students need to make up for a class missed on a Monday, they may attend one of the four nighttime classes offered.

• Offers consistent progression with belt promotion.

• A Gi (uniform) is required for this option. 

• Students will progress in their belts as regular nighttime students.

• Upcoming belt promotions for those students who have met the testing requirements for techniques and attendance.  

• Scheduled for December 15th at 5:30 PM (Monday) 

 👕 Class Attire

• No jewelry allowed
  
  

• Long hair must be tied back with a soft hair tie.
  
  

• Uniform is required for the 6-week program and the 3-month commitments., 

💡We have a limited number of used Gi pants available at a discount.
