Children’s Programs
Show & Share is a program where kids bring in an item from home. I ask them several questions about the item, (Where did you get it, what color is it, is it big or small) and then they walk it around to the other children so they may see it up close. A great way for children to begin sharing & engaging with one another.

Wednesday Preschool Program is for 2 1/2 years to 5 years. We learn days of the week, months of the year, weather, a letter for the week, numbers 1-12. I read several books relating to the lesson. We play a language game, math game, craft, & dance to the Hokey Pokey & do finger plays.
Thursday is Elementary Homeschool. I create a lesson that goes with the month’s holidays or season. We read several books, take fun facts from the reading and review them together.
