My husband and I are considering homeschooling.  Our daughter is still quite young (14 mths) but we're looking at all the options available, especially because we're not keen on having her in the public system.  What has your research brought up so far?  Are there homeschooling groups in Thornhill?  How old are your children?

Have you read any books by John Holt?  He has great insight on how children learn, and how traditional education can stunt their natural learning capabilities.  I've been reading about the Montessori and Reggio methods also - incorporating very basic techniques into our daily routine (ie teaching how to dress, self feeding, basic cleaning, etc.)  I imagine your son is at or has well passed these areas so there's other great ideas from practical how-to books like "Teaching Montessori in the Home" by E. Hainstock.  If you find homeschooling groups in York Region they'll likely welcome you even though your son is still pre-school aged. If you're interested in sharing your findings, please get in touch :)
