Friday Mini-Coop

Modeled on our highly successful full-day coop, but sized just right for the little ones.

Friday Mini-Coop is a 13-week, two-hour cooperative for future or very young homeschoolers and their families. If you're interested in Voyagers Homeschool Coop but your young family isn't ready for a full day of action, the Mini-Coop is for you.

• Outside play time
  

For parents

• Opportunity to socialize with like-minded current or potential homeschooling parents
  
• Discussion of topics specific to homeschooling – share your questions
  
• Access to seasoned homeschoolers who can share resources and experiences
