Homeschool Resources
We strive to build a community at Wild Oak Explorers. I knew from birth that my third child was neurodivergent. I started researching and learning about autism the more she grew. I learned all I could about Montessori from the age of one and brought it into our lives and lived it. By the time she was two I started looking for alternative education and decided on homeschooling. When it was time for her to start school I found Charlotte Mason and loved the family learning style. It can be overwhelming with the amount of resources for homeschoolers and it can be scary to think
“Am I doing this right?”
“Will my child learn everything they need to know”
“Will people think we’re weird because of our choice?”
“Will my child find friends to be with regularly?
“Will I find friends to help support me?”
The answers to those questions are YES!! We are here to help and support you and your family. We offer family field trips, regular coffee and chats to discuss happenings and any questions you may have, museum trips, Friendsgiving, Winter Solstice, end of the year field trips and more.
Nassau County Home Educators (NCHE) is our large homeschool group in the county. After becoming a member, you have access to their events, facebook group, and large library where you may borrow books as well as curriculum materials. Their events include a kindergarten graduation, prom, and high school graduation.
They offer to Co-ops, BLESS on Fridays and STEAM on Wednesdays
