This group is for the support of parents home educating in the Dutchess County, New York area. Its purpose is to provide a forum though which parents can share ideas, list local events and resources, lend support and get to know each other. We are also setting up classes and field trips. We are a secular group but within that framework, we are open to all methods, approaches and philosophies. What we share at the core of our various styles of living and learning is the notion that children are better able to thrive and grow within families than within institutions. Welcome! We look forward to meeting you!
