"Since we can’t know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned." -John Holt This Independent Homeschool group is dedicated to helping families that are currently home educating their pre-school or school-aged child(ren) independently. Although most of the material covered in our resources is gear …

Do you believe in the power of intent, in pray, in meditation, in the power of attraction. Do you believe marriages and parenting is rough work. Do you believe there is a lot of discontent, struggle, and strife in too many marriages and relationships today. Does this burden your heart to want to do something about it. I am a single dad who happily struggled through two marriages to try and create family. I have the family but it did not turn out as I had hoped. I see how my mistakes have caused …

We are adult piano students whose level ranges from beginner to advanced (even teaching). Some of us are new beginners, others have returned to the piano after having some experience as children and others have been playing consistently since childhood. As adult piano students we know it's really important to have time to perform publicly, but recitals with 99% young children and their parents are just too awkward. Therefore we started a group that can set up some opportunities for adult piano s …

This is a work in progress so please bear with us while we figure it out: We're a group of responsible fathers who love to surf and would like to raise our children at the beach and spend more time in the water.  The objective is to be able to score decent surf while taking turns watching the groms.  There are lots of things we still need to figure out, but this is a group that is looking forward as our children get older and we can fine tune the day-to-day "operations" of the beach activities. …

We started this group originally in the North County area of San Diego and want to grow it to all of SD plus South Orange County as well to change the stigma of homeschooling just a little bit.  I have met many parents who feel they have to fit into the typical mold of what society thinks a homeschooler is.  Times have changed and a lot of people are finding out just how cool homeschooling their kids can be and have fun doing it.  Some of the amazing families who wanted this group started are tr …

The purpose of this group is to get together moms and kids who live near highway 76 (this includes Oceanside, Fallbrook, Bonsall, Vista) and share an interest in crafting, playing and socialization. We will hold weekly in-home playdates and each playdate will have a theme, whether we're learning about the letter D and feeding the ducks at Guajome, or reading and then making The Very Hungry Caterpillar, as well as good old PLAYdates. Since some of us have elementary school age kids (5+) we'll try …
