- Cara, Homeschool Mom, @Hello.Moonpie 

Meet Homeschool mom, Cara:

“We’re only three days in on adding the magic that is @artfulteaching.joyfullearning’s new curriculum to our homeschool lineup, and already it’s changed pretty much everything!

We followed Alana’s instructions to work together and come up with some shared goals for our homeschool year and ended up happy crying and hugging and teamwork-making just about the cutest doodle reminder list ever. Then we went to work on THIS: a life-sized body tracing masterpiece!

I’ve been looking for this exact thing since we started this homeschool journey four years ago and when Alana sent it over, it felt like Christmas morning! SO much beautiful, thoughtful goodness to unpack 😍😍😍 And so far every project we try is an even bigger hit than the last!

If you’ve ever wanted to homeschool, but felt overwhelmed at the thought of it or you are homeschooling currently but feel like something is missing, you should def check it out. She makes it so easy and her approach is the perfect mix of academics and play. It just feels so...meaningful.” - Cara, @Hello.Moonpie

If you’re a parent who believes in a gentle and playful approach to learning, looking for a plan to teach your child to help you homeschool in the early years...

then you already know workbooks aren't the answer.

You know you can provide more for your child than any public school, standardized curriculum or workbook….

More Time to Let Your Kids be Kids...

to reclaim the joy and wonder of childhood.

More Enriched Learning Experiences...

hands-on opportunities to explorecreate, investigate...

More Loving and Meaningful Connections...

building strong family bonds.

More Time to Follow your Child's Lead...

leaning into her natural curiosities...

More Memories You get to be part of...

re-living the magic of childhood.

But quietly you think...

 
I see the lovely, creative, hands-on things the other homeschool mamas are doing with their kids...
but deep down I don’t know if I have that energy or creativity, juggling all the things.
Am I going too fast?
Too slow?
Is it playful enough?
Academic enough?
Am I turning my kids off of learning?

If you feel besieged by worry and doubt about how to homeschool your child...what tone you want to set...whether you have what it takes…

You're Not Alone.

Home education is a serious commitment. Your decision to homeschool may be exciting and liberating, but at the same time a bit overwhelming and daunting. 

It’s natural to feel anxious and worried... because, after all… these are your children, and you simply want what’s best for them. You have one shot at this. 

Your children need you to feel calm. Capable. Confident.

You want to raise smart, successful, creative, well-rounded kids. You want them to be self-directed, confident learners.

You want them to love learning. 

That doesn’t just happen by accident.

You need a plan. You need a guide.

Imagine...

Waking up, feeling "on-top-of-it." Feeling so competent, organized, inspired and skilled…

Your kids are

EXCITED. ENGAGED.

{and don't even realize they're learning}

You’re ready to take this homeschool journey a long way…

You’re feeling like you’ve got this!

Your all-in-one curriculum awaits.

All-in-one, Beautifully designed Curriculum for the Whole Child

If you’ve ever felt a bit overwhelmed and uncertain, you just wish someone told you what to do, when to do it and how...

If you hate the idea of a prescriptive curriculum… forced worksheets… paper pencil tasks and prolonged periods of seat work…

Maybe you're intimidated by the idea of a creative, hands-on curriculum… all the mess… all the supplies… all the work..

If you want a child-led learning experience but need a bit of a plan and a bit of structure....

I’m here to tell you, there’s a better way, and I wish all parents knew this secret:

Artful Teaching. Joyful Learning.® brings a method that intentionally blends wonder, play, and art with authentic learning…. This is the secret to a fruitful, effective, long-lasting homeschool journey.

This is your plan. This is your guide.

HI. I'M ALANA.

I believe children are incredibly brilliant and capable human beings, and helping parents and educators tap into their children's full potential - through an engaging, hands-on approach to learning - is my life's calling and purpose.

As a former public school teacher, I knew children deserved morebut I was locked into a rigid system, stuck in an old-fashioned model that was heavy on assessments, rigorous curriculum and efficiency.

After years of teaching, studying, reading and devouring the latest in educational research about how children learn best, earning my Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction, I developed my own homeschool enrichment program, where I applied my years of research and practical experience, and implemented a play-based curriculum.

WONDER, the ARTS, NATURE and PLAY were the cornerstones of the program,

and children’s learning flourished

My mission is to help you too become the inspiring, skilled teacher your children need and deserve, giving you a PLAN and FRAMEWORK to help you teach with ease, confidence and a splash of creativity.

BONUS MODULE 6: 

Playful Learning Spaces

How to design a space for ultimate engagement and optimal learning

This curriculum is based on universal values such as kindness, generosity, honesty and responsibility. While it is a secular curriculum, faith-based elements can be easily incorporated into the activities.

 

All children are capable. My approach is one of inclusivity, so no matter the age, learning style, developmental or cognitive ability, the curriculum is one that address the whole child, and is easily adapted. 

The problem with traditional curricula is the heavy focus on paper-pencil/seat-work tasks. All learners are experiential, and learn by doing, experiencing and reflecting on experience. This curriculum is designed for all children to achieve success.

The curriculum has its roots in a Reggio-Inspired approach to early learning. One that sees children as highly capable, with an innate desire to learn. This approach is based on a Constructivist stance, that children actively make meaning of their world through experience, social interaction and reflection.

That said, rich literature and outdoor exploration {Charlotte Mason}, as well as invitations to learn {Montessori}, and following the child's lead {Unschooling} all play a big part in this curriculum as well.

All sales are final. Due to the digital nature of our product, there are no exchanges or refunds. Please consider carefully if this is a good fit for your child prior to purchase.
