Homeschooling young children can feel like a lot to figure out. How do you balance academics, play, faith, and the everyday needs of little ones while still nurturing a genuine love of learning?
In this recorded workshop, you’ll be equipped with practical, encouraging ideas for homeschooling preschool and kindergarten with wonder, intention, and joy. You’ll learn how young children naturally learn through curiosity, play, discovery, and problem solving, and how to build on those natural tendencies rather than trying to recreate a traditional classroom at home.
Throughout the workshop, you’ll explore practical ways to develop language and literacy, make math meaningful, introduce science and history, and lay strong foundations for your child’s education through intentional play and everyday experiences.
You’ll also discover how to build the foundations of a Catholic homeschool from the beginning, including introducing religion to young children, creating a rhythm that works for your family, and nurturing your home as a domestic church.
This workshop is about more than checking academic boxes.
It’s about cultivating wonder, curiosity, faith, and a lifelong love of learning from the very beginning.
Perfect for Catholic mothers and families homeschooling preschool or kindergarten, as well as those preparing to begin their homeschool journey.
