Harmony will essentially function as a private club.  This ensures participants are aligned in their goals & values, fosters belonging & consistent community, and helps pay for required insurance/space/supplies.  Applications are now being accepted!  

​​

Members will be admitted on a rolling basis throughout the year.  Our first official event is a Welcome Meet & Greet on August 30, if you wish to participate from the beginning!  Cost is $100/household for the year. CREW is included as a benefit of membership.  (If you are planning to register for CREW events, see below...)

Cultivating Relationships by Engaging Weekly

These events are Harmony run & organized & included in your family membership fee ($100 for 2024-2025).  See what we've got planned for the coming year and join in the fun!  (A parent/guardian required to stay for CREW.)

​

Harmony Members:  it would be helpful to plan our first "Welcome Meet & Greet" event if applications/registrations are completed by August 23rd. :)  New members will be accepted on a rolling basis.

Learn more about our "full" day (5 hour) drop-off learning pods for kids 6-14. 

The deadline for registration for Pathfinders for the full year is August 16th.  Late registrants will be accepted throughout the year (provided there is room in the pod), but starting dates are limited to the first day of each new session.  (See calendar)

Choice Academy Classes provide kids an opportunity to create a schedule pursuing their interests from a variety of enrichment classes taught by experienced instructors.  Membership is required, and all our classes include rapport/relationship-building activities weekly, regardless of topic.  In this way, Harmony kids are able to not only build independence and gain new skills, but also grow their bonds of friendship with other Harmony kids through participation. 

​

Registration for Spring 2025 runs April 1 - May 14.   (Session of classes runs Friday mornings May 16-June 6). 

Parent-supervised and unstructured 1-hour indoor playtime in the preschool room to give our littlest homeschoolers a chance to make consistent friendships & practice their socialization skills.  We will accept rolling registrations provided space is available.

*NEW* 

Clubs will meet right before CREW from 1:00-1:25 on Fridays as a way for kids of similar ages to connect in small groups over a shared interest.  Click at left for more details!

Cost is $3.50/kid per club meeting.  Families provide most of their own supplies.  

Clubs will run for Session 1 only (and we will re-evaluate needs, maybe add/change groups or topics for future sessions).  For 6 weeks, that’s $21.00 per child per club total.

Pathfinders, Choice Academy, and CREW are open to teens 13-14.   Interested in opportunities for teens over 14?  Contact us with what you'd like to see...
