Welcome to WCCHE
West County Christian Home Educators !
We are an active group of home school families supporting one another in
St. Louis County, MO and nearby.
New to WCCHE in the last year?
Looking for homeschool connections for you and your family?
Have questions?
So often we start homeschooling, move or join a new group and desire answers to questions that are too lengthy to post on the forum, or long to make relationships but are too busy with the little relationships in our own 4 walls. ; ) Well, then we have a time and place for you!
Please join us for a Mom's evening out to provide some helpful information for those new to WCCHE or considering membership/homeschooling. Jesus knew relationships were key to "encourage one another and build each other up"- 1 Thess. 5:11. We want to encourage you on your homeschool journey by helping you connect and find answers to your questions.

Children between the ages of 4 and 12 that participate in positive activities, primarily related towards self-development and self-improvement, tend to enter their teenage years with a more confident and enthusiastic outlook. Building skills physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially are important during these years, as they are the key areas where influence (good and bad) have the biggest impact. The problem is finding the right activity with the right environment to nourish these skills in an effective and productive manner. The solution is to get them involved in an activity where positive development is reinforced and encouraged each day.
