Seeds Of Grace
SEEDS is a parent-led Christian homeschool co-op that meets one day a week. During our semesters, parents and/or guardians play an active role in SEEDS by helping in classrooms, teaching, and serving through shared responsibilities, including end-of-day or event support and providing snacks during the year. SEEDS is not a drop-off program and does not replace homeschooling, but rather comes alongside families as a supportive and enriching supplement to their homeschool experience.
Meeting Tuesdays, 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
