We were scared. Unsure. Without support from either of our parents, or most of our siblings. What was this radical idea we were planning, and what made us think we were qualified to teach our children? What was wrong with the schooling options we had each experienced? We didn’t know what we didn’t know! We only knew we didn’t want to live a life regretting not having tried. Something deep inside us bound us together to see how we could offer our children something different. We weren’t criticizing the choices of others. We just knew we had to try! And so we began.
Over 3 decades later we are so glad we did! Was it easy? Were we ever lacking confidence? Did we make mistakes? Was our family exempt from normal family or marriage conflicts? Why did we continue?

When Covid turned the world upside down, both of us were compelled to start CARE Homeschool Consulting. Our heart has been to serve homeschool parents for over 30 years. Now, we are equipped to help parents shorten their learning curve through mentoring and coaching. We’ve been there, and have seen what has worked for us as well as discovering what didn’t. Let us help you shorten your learning curve in your unique homeschool journey!
