What is PATCH?
PATCH is an secular, inclusive homeschool coop -- A collective group of homeschooling families that meet once a week. We offer education enrichment classes from 10:45am to 2:30pm taught by parent volunteers. On class days we have occasional potlucks, dress-up days, celebrations and showcases. We also offer monthly field trips and periodic parent nights out!
PATCH classes rotate each semester and are chosen based on requests and ideas from families. They often include classes with a focus in science, art, performing arts, cooking, life skills, and more!
The PATCH community is what keeps so many families coming back. We work hard to make sure families are welcome, seen and supported. Kids will find friendships, learn skills, get to participate in a classroom environemnt, enjoy recess and field trips and many say that PATCH Tuesdays are their favorite day of the school week. Parents that participate gain friendships, support and a judgement-free space to connect in.
