Homeschool Cooperative Educating in Central Florida (HCECF) is an inclusive and eclectic group of home educating families in the Orlando area (basically Orange County, Seminole County, Lake County and Volusia County) working together for weekly co-ops, science classes, lego teams, fun educational fieldtrips, sports/pe days, etc for a diverse age group while maintaining and supporting the individual valuable educational choices each family has made. As our children age, so will the focus ages of this group enabling the children and parents to continue the bonds of friendship and support that have formed. Younger children tend to be under-representing in the homeschooling support groups since many have a minimum age requirement, unless there is an older sibling in the group. Hopefully that need will be filled here at HCECF. Homeschooling can begin at birth and that is one of the ideas behind starting this group - no child is too young for quality educational experiences. HCECF provides a discussion forum for all aspects of homeschooling in the focus group of young elementary age and younger. HCECF is truly inclusive and eclectic and as such welcome and value participation from people of different faiths and education styles. HCECF firmly believes everyone picks the right path for themselves and their family.
