WILDCAT CREEK HOME EDUCATORS' COOPERATIVE WILDCAT CREEK HOME EDUCATORS' COOPERATIVE, (WCHEC) Why A Co-op? One of the real benefits of homeschooling is the ability of families to come together cooperatively, to teach our children in a group setting. The ability to have some control over the types of social interaction, while enhancing their education (okay, and maybe giving Mom a little breathing room), is a key component of cooperatives. At the Wildcat Creek Home Educators' Cooperative (WCHEC), we strive to serve the home schooling community by offering a good balance of academic and enrichment classes for your children, ages third grade through high school. We do offer classes for nursery through second grade, but a co-op member must have at least a third grader to join. Home schooling varies greatly in each family; some families really just use the co-op to enrich their children's educational experience by having them enrolled in non-traditional, or what some would say, non-essential (not reading ,writing, arithmetic), classes like drama. Other families would like to utilize the strengths of others and have their children take academic classes that would also serve to strengthen their child's education. Either way, the co-op is serving the diverse home schooling community as fully as we can. At WCHEC, we strive to have all our classes help you and your children have a fuller home schooling experience! The types of experiences and classes we offer at WCHEC will continue to be diverse, just like out home schooling community we serve. WCHEC meets every-other Tuesday morning beginning in September and going through the end April. We are blessed to meet at Kossuth Street Baptist Church, our partners in this endeavor. KSBC and their staff have opened their building to us, and continue to be a great place for our children. We are very thankful to have such a fine facility in Lafayette, with an even finer staff of pastors. Registrations will be accepted by mail beginning May 15, 2009, for new members. Current members will have first priority to register, but new members applying to join the co-op will be on a first-come-first-serve basis, based on class availability and the number of open spaces for new families. Class sizes are limited, but we will do our best to register new families as space allows. Deadline to register is July 1, 2009, BUT many classes fill up before the deadline. Give yourself the best chance of getting wanted classes by turning in your application early. All necessary information including registration forms are at the bottom. If you have any questions about the co-op AFTER reading the posted forms, please contact Michelle Mast at chelle_mast@hotmail.com or 765-490-0038. WCHEC is full and no longer accepting registrations for the 09'-10' school year.
