We are a group of homeschool parents, alternative educators, and community members who have come together to build a cooperative, homeschool resource center and alternative learning environment for the children in our community. We are open to all families and educators who are interested in homeschooling, unschooling, and alternative education. We are creating a center where children and their parents can check out resources, take classes, participate in activities, collaborate with one another and build community.

We support eachother as parent educators and help one another develop individual homeschool practices. As parent educators, we pool our resources in order to help each of us individually actualize our visions for our children's education. We not only share curriculum ideas, but support each other through a reflective, collaborative and constructive process that helps us each to build unique, dynamic and engaging learning experiences to meet the needs of our individual children.

Our aim is to support Gainesville's homeschool families, teachers and community members in their efforts to provide responsive, individualized, child-centered, authentic learning experiences for the children in our community. By combining our collective resources, we will support existing alternative education families and groups, by providing access to otherwise expensive materials, creative workshops, and imaginative and academic classes for children and parents.

If you are looking for a safe and supportive environment to grow and learn, and/or if you would like to share your wisdom and experience with others, then this is the place for you.

Also, if you would like to help create a creative, engaging and supportive homeschool resource center in Gainesville, we need your help. Please join us.
