Download ALL 5 of our The Educating Parent Resource Directories for FREE!
For two years we've produced one comprehensive directory but it had grown too large and responding to feedback from you, our loyal readers, we've split our Resource Directory into five separate directories, each with their own special purpose, packed with useful information to help you get started with home educating your children.
Two of our 5 Directories are updated regularly with current links to government agencies, educational resources and providers and home educating support groups.

Together with the support of my family, my aim is to help parents educate their children in stress-free, nurturing environments. In addition to building and maintaing this website, I continue to create and manage local and national home educating networks, help to organise conferences and camps, as well as write for, edit and produce newsletters, resource directories and magazines. I am an active supporter of national, state, regional and local home education groups.

Welcome to the World of Home Education
and Learning without School!
We began educating our children in 1985, when our eldest was five. In truth, we had helped them learn what they need to learn since they were born. I am a passionate advocate of allowing children to learn unhindered by unnecessary stress and competition, meeting developmental needs in ways that suit their individual learning styles and preferences. Ours was a homeschooling, unschooling and natural learning family! There are hundreds of articles on this site to help you build confidence as a home educating family. We hope that your home educating adventure is as satisfying as ours was! Beverley Paine
