ABOUT US

We are here to partner with parents in their homeschooling journey.

Are you new to homeschooling and don’t know where to start? Let’s work together to help get you started. I offer a drop off program to not only give you time to plan educational activities on the days your child is home but I also help guide you in curriculum options and initiating the beginning stages of early literacy development.

Daily activities

Designed to help children realize their potential

Morning Time

Children will begin their day playing outside and catching up with their friends at drop-off. Then we will transition to whole group lessons that consist of Nature Study and a fun thematic read aloud.

The Basics

Each child will be placed in an educational group based on their academic needs in the afternoon. We will work on reading and math skills as well as incorporate a lot of literature based studies such as Shakespeare, Pilgrim’s Progress for the older students.

Outdoor Exploration

Inquiry-based learning is happening on a constant bases because a child’s inclination to question warrants further examination. So while we are outside playing and helping tend to the garden and chickens, children are allowed to ask as many questions as they want and then we can learn through books and online research from those thought provoking questions.

More than just a joyful place
