PRESERVING CURIOSITY
Allowing our children to follow their inner questions and explore the world around them, gives them the freedom to learn at their own pace and follow their own inspirations and aspirations.

My homeschool journey began in 1996 when my oldest daughter was ready for kindergarten. Our family continued to grow as we added brothers and sisters about every 1 1/2-2 years apart, until there were 4 girls and 4 boys born between 1991-2008. All of them were homeschooled. In addition to teaching my own children, I ran a full children’s program for our place of worship for 14 years, wrote the curriculum, created weeklong summer programs and prepared children for coming of age events. Later, as life-situations changed, I continued to teach children in other settings, such as: After School Programs, Summer Camps, GA PreK, and Special Needs ages 3-5. How may I help you?

Now that my children are mostly grown, I am turning my attention to the next generation of homeschoolers, to support them on their journeys! I want to inspire, encourage and guide new parents embarking on this seemingly impossible task. If I survived homeschooling eight children, kindergarten through high school, You can do it too!
About Us
Patricia Stevens
Ever since I was a young girl, I wanted to be a teacher. I started a school down our NY basement teaching my brother and sister. As we were cleaning my mother’s attic, guess what my brother found ... his report card that I made! As one can infer, I had a homeschool heart from the beginning. Eventually, I attended Southern Connecticut State College (university), where I earned both my bachelor’s (Elementary Education) and master’s degree ( Reading Education 1st-8th Grades) My first position was in an inner city school in Connecticut as a Title I Reading Teacher for Kindergarteners through 6th graders.
Since I had the freedom to discover ways to help each student improve in the reading, I started diagnosing their difficulties and then helping them improve in reading strategies. During this time I met my husband, Carl, who took me to Germany where I accepted a first grade teacher position at the American school. When I became pregnant with our first child, I resigned from the fulltime position but accepted a part time college position teaching
Remedial Reading to the young soldiers.
When the Army transferred us to the States, I accepted a part time Remedial Reading Instructor position at Columbus College in Columbus, Georgia. I continued teaching part time through out the years in various colleges . I also earned a Master’s Level Certification from the National Institute of Learning Development, which enables me to
assist to students who are struggling with perceptual challenges ( ADD, LD, Autistic, Dyslexia ).
Most recently, I retired from the public school system as a Reading Specialist.
I homeschooled for 23 years from kindergarten through high school. For sixteen years, I was the
Reading and Writing Teacher for a homeschool coop. I wrote Short Stories, Poetry, Speech, Term
Paper , Basic Writing from sentences to paragraphs courses besides literature courses of literature,
American literature, Marine literature requirement , and Classical literature.
We recently moved to Ellijay, Georgia to be closer to our grandchildren. My next goal is to
continue this adventure with the Lord and to be available to the next generation of homeschool
moms and students.
