We are a group for families who homeschool or who are exploring homeschooling in the Modesto area. We welcome unschoolers, homeschoolers and school at home families. We welcome those who homeschool for any reason and with any method. We welcome those from all religious or spiritual backgrounds and those with none. We do not discriminate based on what method of homeschooling is right for your family or based on who your family members are. We welcome all who want to find communion with others who homeschool.

Come, come, whoever you are - You are welcome here! No matter your age, your size, the color of your eyes, your hair, your skin - You are welcome here! No matter how you came here - if you came alone, or with others - You are welcome here! No matter whom you love, or how you speak, or whatever your abilities - You are welcome here! Whether you come with laughter in your heart, or tears - You are welcome here! If you come here with an open mind, a loving heart, willing hands - You are welcome here! Ours is no journey of despair - You are welcome here!
