Description

Homeschooling has been steadily growing over the last decade, but at the beginning of 2020, the movement took off at breakneck speed. Now, homeschooling is becoming mainstream, and the knowledge and resources available for homeschoolers grows every day. But what about after you’ve picked out a math curriculum and bought some brand-new school supplies? What do you do, then? How do you handle this day-in and day-out task of educating your children and remaining sane? Homeschooling families need support; they need companionship; they need the village. Enter The Village Homeschoolers: We teach home-educating families how to find and create the community they need to be successful. It doesn’t matter who you are or why you’re homeschooling: We want you to create your village. And we want to help. Email us at thevillagehomeschoolers@gmail.com
