Homeschool Done Different.

For parents seeking a different way.

There’s no pre determined program to follow. No printable bundles.

Rather, I’ll be walking alongside you and your children to help you turn your children’s interests, strengths and passions into projects.

Each month you’ll receive 1:1 support from me and a personalized simple outline for a Project.
This is about offering children engaging and rich experiences in response to who they are.
Nurturing their unique essence and facilitating the deepening of interests.

Support Includes:

1. Monthly Outline/ Consulting

Through a reflection process we will uncover together an engaging project topic for your child. I will then create a simple project outline for your child with a checklist of activities for the month. You can reach out to me with (a reasonable amount) of questions of support through the month if needed.

I will often include a few of the following as well, depending on the child’s needs of the month:

  • Invitations into Wonder

  • Extension learning ideas

  • Tools or supply list (frugal, minimalist, eco in mind)

  • Online links to learning

  • Options for guest experts

  • Book recommendations

  • Art and culture recommendations

  • Experiment ideas

  • STEM ideas

2. Community Building (optional)

Read my Blog: The Way Through is Together.

This group is for very specific families that align (ish) on the big things: parenting approach, educational choices and view of children. By joining together in approach, values and passions, I believe we can create a solid foundation for ourselves and especially our children to walk forth in confidence and Power.

My vision with this community is a circle where we are all one of a group, all with wisdom to be shared. I hope we can discover ways we can support one another, work alongside one another, grow together, and share with one another.

The below are optional enhancements to support a connected community.

  • Group Connections: Throughout the process we can weave connections in various ways. If children from multiple families are working on a similar theme or project this can allow for deepening of passions, shared learning and exciting conversations.

  • Pen Pal Project: A writing project. Children will be paired based on a similar interest, strength, passion. My hope is it will be a fun way to expand connections with like minded families while building focus, patience and communication. Relationships formed could continue for life!

  • Group Chat: Stay connected and inspired all month by sharing project photos and progress, asking for advice, offering inspirations within a whatsapp group.

  • Monthly Focus: Themed monthly focus helping us all to slow into a family life rooted in rhythms that reflect values. Themes for each month can be chosen through a democratic process by the group. For example, Service, Gratitude, and Global Citizenship. I will send the group a suggested activity, recipe, or family experiences for the month.

3. Parent Support Group (optional)

The below are optional enhancements to support you in being the anchor for your family in a way that feels good.

I am not a parenting expert. I barely make it through some days and sometimes my well laid plans are derailed by heightened emotions, full moons, distractions. But I am fiercely passionate about my views of children and I’ve spent endless hours researching parenting approaches. I was an educator for 15 years and have explored various educational models across the world and now I am paid in my career to research topics related to early childhood.

  • Monthly Support Group: A 90 minute monthly group meeting. Time for checking in and support and time for learning. I will prepare a brief workshop on topics I believe have been valuable for me to learn. There will also be topics that have been brought forth from the group. Parents are also welcome to sign up to present a topic of passion or interest.

    Topic examples: Responsive educating, supporting children through big emotions, child led learning, playborhoods, freedom within limits, nature based education.

  • Quarterly Book Clubs: Adults. Bring your recommendations. Vote. Read. Meet. Discuss!

My View of Children

Let the children lead more. Trust them to make decisions.

Honour their voice. Their inner knowing.

Less no.
And more yes.

Let us give them space.
Eliminate our ideals, goals and dreams for them and instead allow them to unfold as they are.

Let us protect their imaginations, their creativity, their unique expression.

Let us offer Invitations into Wonder.

Facilitating experiences and providing them with materials, tools and resources.

Deepening their sense of self, confidence and self esteem.

Let us step back more.

Allowing natural consequences to teach and failures to refine.

Building resilience, moving beyond barriers, growing in confidence and purpose.

Let us fight for their focus, their brilliance, for freedom from the binds of screens and distraction.

Let us give them our warmth, presence and our passion.
