Welcome to homeschooling! We love being a part of this community and we know that you will too!
First of all, let us encourage you! You've got this! You have what it takes to educate your children at home.
Seriously, you do!! If you do not have the required 40 college credits to homeschool in Washington, or simply want to take a Parent Qualifying Course, check out this link. We have specific resources for people who are looking at homeschooling because of COVID craziness. We also have a page those who are Curious and Newbies to home education, as well as links to make it easier to figure out how to meet the annual testing requirements here and here.
Below are some helpful videos on the pros and cons of home education. Did you know that Mayim Bialik (from Big Bang Theory) is a homeschool mom? She also has a PhD in neuroscience!
