How it all Began

From the time I became a young parent, I struggled with lack of routine, perfectionism, and procrastination, from knowing what to do, but not quite sure how to, or what it looked like. Also, between knowing what was necessary and what wasn’t, what would work for us and what wouldn’t. I was trying to juggle everything, an everyday busy wife, mother, homemaker, homeschooling parent and all the intricate pieces that fall under each. I was trying to make it all flow, keeping each aspect of life balanced, while learning and educating myself along the way…

Then when I did finally start finding curriculum that worked, that gave us peace of mind, a sense of accomplishment, and a steady, easy flow of use, I then needed to find a solution or smooth transition for my youngest into the curriculum that I was using with the older children. I didn’t however find exactly what I was looking for.

TaDa! The idea for the curriculum was conceived. By this time I was a single parent, but determined to still homeschool. I found that something simple, basic, concise, consistent and fun, yet somewhat natural and flexible, so not to infringe upon part of my free spirit, met the need as long as it was implemented and was in sync with what they would be transitioning into. Simple and basic became perfect. Concise and consistent made it possible to go beyond procrastination. All of which allow the child to master the concepts concretely, giving the parent and child a sense of accomplishment and making it naturally fun!

I am always learning more and am incorporating it into the concept and curriculum of SpongyLittleMinds, keeping it alive and fresh... Established in 2012
