As a homeschooling mom, I have found it difficult to find a group that caters to the young homeschooler. I know that there are large support groups and co-ops. But, I am interested in more of an intimate group where families get together regularly.
Since I was not able to find this group, I decided to create one. Young Minds of Peoria is small group for families with students in grades K-2. The kids will create, explore, and connect doing things that they enjoy.
Imagine sending your kids to a school that treats its students with the same love and care that you would your own kids. Where a fourth-grader can be seen reading a story to a pre-schooler and a Kindergartner is working on an art project that explores the technique of Picasso and Jackson Pollock. Where each child learns at his or her own pace, expanding on their strength and improving on their weaknesses. In that very same building, and within the school hours, your child can be doing yoga, taking piano lessons, learning French or serving food to the needy at the local Salvation Army.
