FAQs



Q:

Do I have to be planning to home school to join your group?

A:

We prefer to have families who will be homeschooling at least one child in Kindergarten or a higher grade during the coming school year. Our co-op focuses on encouraging what we hope will be long-term friendships between home schooling families. 

Q:

Do I have to lead or co-lead a class to join your group?

A:

Please plan to co-lead/help a class on a regular basis if you join our group. Our goal is for first time members to assist in a classroom as they get accustomed to our co-op and schedule. This is somewhat dependent on the number of members each year. We also grant moms with newborns or new adoptions or foster moms breaks as much as possible, so don't worry if that is your situation.

Q:

How often do you meet?

A:

Classes are approximately twice a month on Tuesday mornings, September through the end of April. We take a long break for Christmas from early December-the second week of January. There are six field trips- three in the fall and three in the spring. During our summer break beginning in May and ending in early September, we have an optional, informal family nature morning at a local wood. We hold two family picnics (fall/spring). The picnic in the spring also contains a field day for the children. There are several optional moms' nights out planned as well as a moms' retreat.
