Homeschool Stressing You Out? Support is Just A Phone Call Away!

We are super excited to announce the opening of the first slots for Work and Play, Day by Day homeschool consulting services!

While heavily inspired by Montessori in our own homeschool, our primary goal is not to support you in the implementation of our philosophy but in the expression of your own.  

This might look like helping you narrowing your curriculum search by listening to your family goals and values and suggesting options that might work well.

This might look like helping you figure out how to adapt what you've always done for the child who just isn't clicking.

This might look like encouraging you in homeschooling from your heart, through non-traditional approaches or with unusual family circumstances.

This might look like helping you tackle high school (or preschool!) for the first time.

With an extensive pre-consult interview packet, all of our education and expertise will be applied in the context of your unique family.  No two families are exactly the same, nor should your homeschool solutions be!

Particularly for new homeschoolers, now is the best time to talk before the spring homeschool conventions.  We can help you clarify your goals and narrow your curriculum search to make the convention floor that much less overwhelming!

Order Now! 

(To serve you best, we will only release new slots on a monthly basis in small batches.)

Montessori: A Benedict Option Education Solution for Serious Catholics

 

I'm probably the last traditionally minded Christian on the planet to read The Benedict Option by Ron Dreher, but that isn't going to stop me from taking what I know and writing an extraordinarily late to the party response/extension to what Mr. Dreher has to say about education.

One of the reasons I held off on reading this book is that I made the (incorrect) assumption that it was going to be about withdrawing and about duplicating monastery life in the home.   I just could not quite shake the idea that option isn't best for my family.  Nor, in the spirit of full disclosure, does Mr. Dreher claim it should be.

My mistake.  I probably should have paid a little more attention to what others were saying, like this review from Bishop Robert Barron.

I don't want to talk about the whole book, I'll let you read it for yourself and discern your own conclusions.  I'm really not an expert in much of what he says and we will be taking it to careful consideration ourselves.  I would, however, like to expand on what he says about education specifically, because as he states, "Christians have not been alert to the importance of education, and its time to change that."

Truth:  The public education sector is no longer safe, or even friendly, to orthodox Christians.
