Brevard Natural Mom's Homeschool co-op Intro

Brevard Natural Moms is a group of moms with similar parenting styles. Many of us have little ones around the same age so we decided to start the BNM Homeschool co-op to share ideas for learning activities, and have some more structured/education based play dates. All of the children love to learn, and its more fun to do it with friends!

We have started with the idea to choose a theme, the first one being ‘Ocean Life’, as a jumping off point for planning activities. At each meeting, each mom participating is responsible for brining one activity based on the theme with enough supplies for all the children to participate.

We present the activities to the kids and let them try things out and explore at their own pace. This way everything can be adjusted to fit each child’s abilities and interests – sometimes they don’t want to try something, and that’s ok! Some kids need more or less help than others. Some will want to do one activity the whole time, and some want to try everything. Its all child-led, with guidance from all of the mom’s so that the kids can learn each in there own way and have fun doing it.

This blog was started so that everyone can stay updated on the activities we are doing (with kids, its inevitable that not everyone can make it to each meeting!). I am also adding activities I am doing at home with my son Levi.

We are just getting started, and I'm excited to see how things progress!
