Start Homeschooling Right

A Charlotte Mason approach to finding peace and joy in your homeschool journey. Begin now, in the preschool and kindergarten years, to lay a foundation for your child’s education for years to come.

It’s taken me 6 years to find peace in my home school, something I never thought I would feel. In the beginning, I was always chasing the next best thing to teach my children. But I finally feel like I am not only doing enough, but also doing what is best for them. I’m here to help you skip the chaos and stress of figuring it all out and start your homeschool journey right, in a peaceful and simple way.

About your Instructor

I’m Tas Holland, homeschool graduate and mother of 3 (and 1 on the way).

I have tried all the things when it comes to homeschooling, from making it up as I go with the library and Pinterest as my two best friends, to open-and-go workbooks, to full literature-based curriculums.

Along my journey I heard bits and pieces of Charlotte Mason. Things like living books, nature study, and short lessons stood out to me. It wasn’t until I actually started learning about her philosophy and reading her books that everything changed for me.

I went from feeling overwhelmed and undereducated, to feeling calm in my lesson planning and teaching, and peaceful about the fact that I didn’t have all the answers (because someone else did and they probably wrote a book about it!).

Now our homeschool day looks like time spent together enjoying music and art, reading lots of books, and sharing our thoughts about what we read, among other less overwhelming things. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

This course is for you if:

  • The child(ren) you are planning to homeschool is between 4-6 years old.

  • You are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of homeschool information on the internet.

  • You are willing to take your child’s education into your hands, planning simple and effective lessons that will edify both you and your child.

  • You want a peaceful routine that encourages learning without having to sit down for lessons all day. You find time to teach in the small moments each day.

  • You love to (or would love to if you had the time) to read, alone and to your children.

This course is NOT for you if:

  • You think preschool and kindergarten have to be full of craft time and cooking and messes that quickly become overwhelming.

  • You are looking for a curriculum that tells you exactly what to do.

  • You want open-and-go workbooks that children are able to focus on by them selves or with minimal help from you.

  • You are looking for “a letter a week” program or unit study for your preschooler or kindergartener.

  • You are beginning to homeschool older children (sorry, this course is looking at the younger ones for now, but keep an eye on Gardner Lane for future courses on beginning in the elementary years!).
