Yellow School House

996 South St., Boston, MA 02131

About

I am a homeschooling Mom of 3 boys, a first-grader, kindergartner and pre-schooler. When we started homeschooling we lived in a yellow house and called our school the Yellow Schoolhouse, and even though we live in a white house in Boston (Roslindale/West Roxbury area) now, the name has stuck. I began homeschooling because I was not satisfied with the education my oldest son was receiving in one of the "best" school systems in Massachusetts.
We have so much fun at the Yellow Schoolhouse. I try to blend traditional teaching with Montessori methods, to hit upon all of my sons' varied learning styles. We cover Spelling, Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies, Handwriting, Creative Writing, Art and Music. We read a lot of children's literature and do tons of hands-on projects. We turn new concepts into games every chance we get. My children are well ahead of their grade levels, and I attribute that mainly to the one-on-one attention they receive on a daily basis.
If you have ever thought about homeschooling your child, but didn't know if it was the right fit for you, this may be a great option.
I am CORI background checked, first-aid and CPR trained. I hold a bachelor's degree in Political Science from Furman University. I had a successful career as the New England Regional Training Coordinator of a Fortune 200 insurance company. I adore children - I love studying their development, learning styles, and behavior patterns. I believe in empowering children to make great choices on their own, not telling them what their choice will be. I believe in order and boundaries, but I also believe in having a whole lot of fun within those boundaries.
I am looking to add 1-2 PreK-2nd grade aged children to our school. My boys will love to have the extra playmate(s) and I will be able to provide your child with an excellent, individualized education. I will provide all the healthy snacks and meals. Hours are possible between 7:30 and 5:30 as needed. $250 per week. A school portfolio and references can be provided.
I look forward to meeting you and your child. ouryellowschoolhouse.blogspot.com
