Ep.52 Homeschooling Made Easy ft Brittainy Nin
This week I invited Brittainy Nin to the show to share her experience as a homeschooler. Brittainy is a native of Florida, a digital marketing professional, wife, and mother of four. She is a second-generation homeschooler who embraces the idea that there is not a one-size-fits-all method to education. Brittainy believes that having a community helps homeschoolers to find their freedom, flexibility, and joy along their journeys. Brittainy is the founder of Soaring Prep Academy, a Christian group that educates children together using the Charlotte Mason teaching method. No matter if you are a first-time homeschooler or a seasoned homeschooler, this is an episode you don't want to miss.
In This Episode
In this episode we discussed how homeschool communities help children to develop and maintain strong relationships with their families and other adults. Brittainy believes that homeschooling doesn't mean doing school at home. It means opening doors for your children to explore and navigate their learning adventures while bonding and building relationships.
Brittainy says, "Homeschool communities are very generous...it is a rewarding job."
