Secure your Child's Spot in the SPring Homeschool Journeys!
Journey 1: Foundations
Journey 1 is designed for children who are beginning their learning journey. This group focuses on early academic skills such as letter and number recognition, colors, shapes, patterns, and introductory STEM concepts through play. Children engage in a balance of guided activities and free play, supporting fine motor development, confidence, and early learning at a comfortable pace. Journey 1 is a great fit for children who are new to group learning environments or are in the early stages of their academic development.
Journey 2: Building Blocks
Journey 2 builds on the foundational skills introduced in Journey 1 and supports children as they take the next steps in their learning. This group focuses on developing number sense, early math concepts, letter sounds, and phonemic awareness while encouraging problem solving and critical thinking through hands on activities. Children are supported as they apply what they already know, make connections, and deepen their understanding in a collaborative and play based environment. Journey 2 is ideal for children who have some familiarity with letters and numbers and are ready to build upon those skills with guided exploration.
In Both Journeys
Both Journey 1 and Journey 2 emphasize social and emotional development, communication, and teamwork. Children practice working together, building relationships, and growing confidence while learning in a supportive community. Parents can choose the group that best fits their child, and lessons are adapted to meet each child’s individual ability. You do not need to be homeschooling your child to attend. Please reach out with any questions.
