A Legacy Project

Prosper Noggin  is a legacy project that honors the faith, values, and accomplishments of our parents: Marvin and Sandra Wherrell & Jim and Margaret McNab.

​

We are a Christ-centered, non-profit entity, dedicated to helping children and families realize their potential. Our approach focuses on the "whole child" working to develop children physically, spiritually, socially, and academically.

​

Prosper Noggin, based in Okeechobee, Florida, offers a weekly homeschool support program, tutoring services, and enrichment & elective opportunities.

​

We are an approved direct pay provider for Florida's SUFS scholarship program.

Melinda Wherrell

A heart for sharing. 

Melinda Wherrell, founder of Prosper Noggin, is a former "big-tech" corporate executive turned devoted homeschool mom. With nearly two decades of experience in corporate operations, leadership, international business, team building, and strategy, Melinda has transitioned her professional expertise into what she considers her most important role: wife and mother. Beyond her corporate career, she has served as a cancer research advocate, certified children’s grief facilitator, sports coach, and children’s church teacher.

​

Her inspiration for launching Prosper Noggin was her twins, whose love for learning fueled her desire to share her time, knowledge, and passion with others.

​

Prosper Noggin’s faith-based community program is also a tribute to the legacy of Sandra and Marvin Wherrell, her husband’s parents, who deeply loved and served the people of Okeechobee. The Wherrell family honors that legacy by continuing to promote Godly leadership, generosity, and love within the community. 

​

Melinda is driven by a passion to uncover, develop, challenge, and equip the next generation of leaders. By addressing both "gifts and gaps," Prosper Noggin aims to support children and families in ways that enable them to thrive cognitively, academically, creatively, and spiritually.
