Inspiration & Delight — a conference in Seymour, TN, July 19th 2025.

Saturday, July 19, 2025 in Seymour, TN

We are excited to announce the first year of Inspiration and Delight, a conference for Charlotte Mason educators, featuring Donna-Jean Breckenridge as our keynote speaker on the topics of atmosphere, discipline, and life. Charlotte Mason said we are limited to using these three tools in the education of our children. Understanding these fundamental ideas is essential to following her philosophy and method, but it can be difficult to fully grasp these concepts. Breakout sessions with Lani Siciliano (language arts and narration), Jeannette Tulis (nature study), and RaeAnna Goss (music) are also scheduled. We hope you will be able to join us for this day of encouragement – a day that will refresh your understanding of Charlotte Mason’s principles and renew your delight in this way of educating and living.

Cottage Co-op

Cottage Co-op is a riches co-op for students aged 6 to 12 years old.

Our Friday meetings begin with gathering all together as families for
our folk song and hymn, announcements, and benediction.

Forms 1 & 2 enjoy time in Collective learning about a classic poet, artist,
and composer. Forms 1 & 2 also alternate weekly between nature study
or handicrafts. Both forms then end their co-op day with a game time
devoted to play, listening skills, and folk dances.

A typical Kinderleben class spends the first portion playing outside
making mud pies, rolling around in leaves, and searching for the largest
worms. We come inside to read stories and poems, recite a bible verse,
and learn new fingerplays. We might play with wooden train tracks or
clay, or practice sewing before all working together to clean up.

Open House – Learning pod for 1st -3rd graders

Dear family in Jesus, :)

My husband, Peter, is the teacher for this pod. He is trained under Ampleside. And Joanna is the mom who is hosting it in her home. You will find her lovely blog here: http://heartforchristschools.blogspot.com/2025/02/our-journey-with-glenbrook-christian.html.

The reason I’m excited to share this learning pod opportunity with families is because I think that they would appreciate its uniquely nurturing and Christ centered setting. Because it is very small, the children receive quality attention to help them flourish in every way. The learning experience encourages them to interact with Jesus in every moment and idea as they discover their full and beautiful design in His likeness.

Look forward to meeting you and your child in person! I will have the pleasure and honor to be spending time with the little ones during open house. I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for more than 15 years.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about this and please do share widely!

Nature Study Club

We are a group of Charlotte Mason homeschooling mothers and their children who meet bi-monthly to study and appreciate nature together. We are based in Brazoria County and use the Handbook of Nature Study to guide our learning. After a discussion about our topic and an object lesson, kids get the opportunity to play and explore outdoors. Then the group enjoys a sack lunch together.

Open to home-schooled students ages six and up and their younger siblings. This is not a drop-off program. There is no cost to attend. Lessons will be taught from a Christian perspective.
