Thank you! I have been educating myself this summer in preparation for the fall. I have been homeschooling for 6 years, but this year starting a co op for the first time. I love your delivery 🙂 Clear and concise which is a relief from many of the other videos I've discovered on the topic.

I know exactly what you mean! Lots of videos out there, but not much practical hands-on information. Hope you had a good first year with your co-op!

Thanks for the tips. I’m trying to start one in the new area we moved too❤️

[@homeschooluniversity3122]

I hope your first year was a good one! Co-ops are an amazing way to make new friends!

Thanks for the tips, we have exactly 5 families interested in a co-op, haha.

Small co-ops are actually really fun, because it's like hanging out with family, only better because the kids argue less :)

Thank you!

I question i have, how do you give services to children falling under different age and class? Do you have classes for different age children or xo you combine every age in one group as that would be confusing. Please clarify this. Thankyou

The great thing about a FUN co-op is that these non-curricular activities are easy to adapt to different age/skill levels. If you have a small group, maybe just a few families, you can keep all the kids together. Just ask the bigger kids to help the littles as needed, and give the littles a simplified version of what you're doing. If you've got a big group, I suggest you divide into two or three age brackets, starting with K-3, to keep activities skills appropriate, but mostly to keep group size manageable. Gym or art class with 50 kids would be a challenge! Just saying, I NEVER split kids up by age if I can possibly avoid that. The beauty of homeschooling is that we're all in this together :)
