Co-ops

When we began to homeschool in kindergarten, we joined a co-op. It was not a good fit for us, so the next year, we stayed home.

The third year, we joined a different co-op. We LOVE this group. We have been in it for 10 years now and will attend again next year when my daughter will be a senior.

We live in the country. Seeing her friends each week at co-op has been such a blessing for my daughter. The ''Mom Support'' for me has been invaluable. The more experienced moms share advice with the ''newbies.'' We share resources, too -- curriculum, information about teacher discounts, field trip ideas, & more. We even have a ''free table'' where we share used clothes, school supplies, & household items.

My advice is: If you have tried a co-op and it didn't work for you, try another. When you find the right one, you'll wonder how you lived without this wonderful group of friends!
