what i believe in
raising readers
Books are the backbone of not only our homeschool but our household. Books open the world to knowledge and imagination. Say it with me:“There’s no such thing as twaddle!”
inclusivity
The homeschool collective has traditionally been white, Christian, conservative, and exclusive. We homeschool in the real world and believe homogenous groups of any kind are harmful.
flexibility
Everyone should homeschool their child(ren) the way they want, even within the confines of state laws, district regulations, work & family dynamics, financial circumstances, and more.
*Village Voices recommends using fully secular and inclusive curricula, and using #OwnVoices at every opportunity.*
homeschooling
works
I know it does. As someone who has spent 13 years shaping their own children through life, and watching others do the same, I can’t tell you the amount of success I’ve seen homeschoolers achieve. I’ve watched them become pilots, doctors, engineers, parents, and overall great people.
Our family is constantly on the go. Come along with us and read about our ups and downs as we explore new places around town, cook awesome food, read a ton of books, and learn about everything along the way!
hi,
i'm KayCee!
The longer I homeschool, the more relaxed we get. The more I watch my children grow, the more I realize that their education is something they have more control over than I (or even they) realize.
Our journey began in 2012 when my oldest son “The Kidd” was in first grade. I was tired of the issues we were having at school. He was being told where and how to play on the playground, spending an hour on homework, lacking true support in areas he was struggling with, and the school’s inability to be flexible about our travel schedule. I was working as a nanny at the time (and had been since before he was born), and negotiated bringing him to work with me with the family I was working for.
Over the years, and with more children running around now, our reasons for continuing to homeschool have grown and evolved, but ultimately, it all comes down to this being the best choice for our family.
