Our goal is to help you as parents have confidence for educating your children using Charlotte Mason’s philosophies. In the local programs we teach, we consider our teachers to simply be assisting you, the parent. You are the authority in your children’s lives and as you are an integral part of your child’s growth, we want to support you. Our monthly support group meetings are FREE to all current Loft & Field members.
Every month, we will post a little bit of timely encouragement. Then in the middle of the month, we will hold our Parent Support Meeting (on zoom). The meetings are FREE for all current L&F Members. We will expand a bit on our monthly encouragement theme and then ask questions and chat.
