Welcome to another edition of our Member Spotlight Series on the Madison Mompreneur blog! This series will help you get to know the members of Madison Mompreneur as we ask them questions about their personal and professional life as moms who own businesses in the Madison, Alabama area.
We are continuing this series with the spotlight on Dr. Yanique Rolingson, Owner of S.N.A.P. Academy!
Tell us about you and your business! I’m Dr. Yanique Rolingson and I own S.N.A.P. Academy
How does your business help people? S.N.A.P. Academy, LLC helps students in grades 2–4 build strong academic foundations in reading, math, and writing through individualized and small-group learning sessions. I also support teachers with consultation, coaching, and encouragement, enmpowering both students and educators have the tools, confidence, and faith to thrive.
How long have you lived in Madison? 5 yrs
What inspired you to start your business? What inspired me to start my business was my experience as an educator for nearly two decades and my desire to make a deeper impact on both students and teachers. I saw how many children struggled with foundational skills in reading, math, and writing, and how that struggle often followed them for years. I also witnessed the weight teachers carry and their need for encouragement, coaching, and faith-filled support. S.N.A.P. Academy, LLC was born from a vision to give students the strong start they deserve while also providing teachers with the tools and confidence they need to thrive.
What sets your business apart from others in the industry? As an educator for nearly two decades, I saw firsthand how many students in the early grades were struggling with foundational skills in reading, math, and writing and how that struggle often followed them for years. I also witnessed the weight teachers carry and the need for encouragement, coaching, and faith-filled support. S.N.A.P. Academy, LLC was born out of a desire to give children the strong start they deserve and to provide teachers with the tools and confidence to keep thriving.
What do you consider to be your biggest success so far? My biggest success so far has been finding the courage to step out of my comfort zone and trust God to guide me. In doing so, I’ve been able to pursue the true desire of my heart: to move beyond the limits of a system and create space to help students build strong foundations while also giving teachers encouragement and support. That step of faith turned a vision into reality with the launch of S.N.A.P. Academy, LLC, a program designed to equip students with academic skills while nurturing character and confidence. I envision the excitement of parents, educators, and community members as this work grows and meets a real need, laying the foundation for lasting impact.
How does your business contribute to the local community? S.N.A.P. Academy, LLC contributes to the local community by providing students in grades 2–4 with high-quality academic support in reading, math, and writing through small-group and individualized sessions. We also invest in the well-being of educators through coaching, consultation, and encouragement, creating a ripple effect that strengthens both classrooms and families. By nurturing academic growth, character, and confidence, we’re building a stronger foundation for the future of our community.
How do you see your business evolving in the next 5-10 years? In the next 5–10 years, I envision S.N.A.P. Academy, LLC growing into a full-service learning center that serves more students in grades 2–4 while expanding to additional grade levels. I see our work extending beyond academic center to include family engagement, leadership development, and faith-based support programs that strengthen both students and educators. Over time, I plan to build partnerships with local schools, churches, and community organizations so S.N.A.P. Academy becomes a trusted hub for academic excellence, character development, and teacher encouragement in North Alabama and beyond.
Who are your typical customers and how do they find you? Our typical customers will be families with children in grades 2–4 who need extra support in reading, math, and writing through individualized and small-group learning sessions. We also aim to serve educators seeking consultation, coaching, encouragement, and connections to strengthen their practice and well-being. As a new business, families and teachers will find us through word of mouth, community connections, social media, and partnerships with schools and organizations in the Madison and Huntsville area.
What do you enjoy most about running your business? What I look forward to enjoying most about running my business is seeing students gain confidence as they strengthen their academic skills and knowing that I’ve helped give them a stronger foundation for the future. I also anticipate the joy of supporting teachers through consultation, coaching, encouragement, and connections so they feel equipped and valued in their work. Most of all, I’m excited about building meaningful relationships with families, educators, and community partners as S.N.A.P. Academy grows.
How do you stay up-to-date with industry trends and changes? I plan to stay up-to-date with industry trends and changes by actively engaging with professional learning communities, attending education conferences, and connecting with other local business and education leaders through organizations like the Chamber of Commerce. I will also continue reading research on effective instructional practices, following thought leaders in education, and seeking feedback from families and teachers so that S.N.A.P. Academy stays relevant, innovative, and responsive to the needs of our community.
What advice would you give to someone interested in starting a business in your industry? My advice to anyone interested in starting a business in education is to begin with a clear sense of purpose. This work requires passion, patience, and persistence because you’re not only shaping academics but also shaping lives. Take time to understand the real needs of students, families, and teachers in your community and design services that genuinely meet those needs. Build connections, seek mentorship, and don’t be afraid to start small. Most importantly, have the courage to step out of your comfort zone, trust the process, and remain flexible as you grow.
What product/service would you like for us to highlight at this time? At this time, I would like to highlight our small-group and individualized learning sessions for students in grades 2–4. These sessions focus on building strong foundations in reading, math, and writing while also nurturing character and confidence. This is the heart of S.N.A.P. Academy, LLC and the service we are most excited to bring to families in our community.
Do you involve your kids in your business? If yes, how so? Yes, I do involve my children in my business. My older son, who is currently a student and tutor at UAH, has expressed interest in supporting me with this work. His involvement not only allows him to contribute his own gifts and experiences but also makes this business a family journey. I believe including my children helps them see the value of education, service, and entrepreneurship firsthand.
What do you find is the most difficult part of balancing mommyhood and business life? What I anticipate being the most difficult part of balancing motherhood and business life is making sure I stay fully present for my daughter, who is a sophomore in high school and the only one left in our household, while also giving S.N.A.P. Academy the focus it needs to grow. My two sons attend UAH for engineering and one is also a part of the track team, so my daughter still needs my attention, support, and presence day to day. I know it will take intentional planning, prayer, and balance, but I believe this journey will model resilience, courage, and faith for all three of my children.
What business in the Madison Area is your favorite? A local business I admire is Mathnasium of Madison, located at 51 Nance Road, Suite 101. Their model of individualized learning and foundational skill-building closely aligns with what S.N.A.P. Academy aims to provide across multiple subjects.
Do you have a business bestie? At this stage, I don’t have a business bestie, but I truly value the opportunity to connect with other local entrepreneurs. As S.N.A.P. Academy grows, I look forward to building relationships with like-minded business owners who share the same passion for education, community, and making a lasting impact.
Anything else you would like for us to highlight? I would love for you to highlight that S.N.A.P. Academy, LLC is not just about academics, but about building the whole child. We focus on strengthening reading, math, and writing skills while also nurturing character, confidence, and resilience. In addition, we offer consultation, coaching, and encouragement for educators, because when teachers are supported, students thrive. Our vision is to serve as a bridge that helps families, educators, and the community come together to create lasting impact. One Vision. Two Paths.
Where can people find you? People can find me through our website at snapacademyal.org . I am based in Madison, Alabama, and available to connect with families, educators, and community partners locally and online. I am also currently building our Facebook business page, S.N.A.P. Academy, LLC, where updates and resources will be shared.
