Welcome to Our Homeschool Co-op

Homeschool Co-op 

In our homeschool co-op, children are free to be themselves — exploring, creating, and learning at their own pace in a space built on trust and joy. We believe real learning happens naturally when kids have the freedom to follow their curiosity, unhurried, and unpressured.

Days are filled with play and discovery — painting, building, storytelling, digging in the dirt, using real materials and real tools, and having adventures. And we don’t believe in bad weather — just new opportunities to explore the world, rain, snow, or shine. 

Parents are part of the community, growing alongside their children through shared experiences and thoughtful discussions.

Multi-age, Play-Based Environment

We offer a multi-age environment both for family flexibility and because of the myriad benefits for both older and younger children.

Here's how we're different from other local homeschool co-ops in terms of parent requirements. 

Other local co-ops require you to teach a class. We don't. 

You are, however, free to offer an Offering. This is an activity, game, craft, music, etc., that you prepare in advance and offer to the group at the beginning of a session. There is no minimum or maximum requirement for the number of times you do this, or even if you do it at all. You do not have to sign up for a day to do this; you simply do it when you feel inspired to do it.

Other local co-ops that require you to sign a Statement of Faith. We don't.

If you believe in Self Directed Education, you are welcome here. We just might be the most welcoming, diverse, and inclusive alternative education option in Spokane.

Other local co-ops that require you to stay on site the whole time, every time, regardless of your child's age. We provide more flexibility. 

If your child is under the age of 5, we ask you to stay on-site while your child is here. If your child is 5 or older, we ask that you stay on site for 25% of your child's enrolled hours. For example, if your child comes once a week, we ask you to stay once a month to assist. 

Many parents have asked if they may stay on-site every time. The answer is yes. Your comfort and your child's comfort is important. You may stay for as long as it takes for you and your child to feel comfortable transitioning to a drop-off situation, if that is something you decide to do. You and your child are free to move at your own pace with this.
