    Our CARD Homeschool Director, Ms. Dallas, is excited to create programming full of laughter and learning that is not confined to the four walls of a classroom but instead expands into the great outdoors and the realms of creativity. In our programs for homeschooled kids, every day is an opportunity to explore, create, and learn in ways that ignite curiosity and passion. From hands-on science experiments that fizz and bubble with excitement to outdoor adventures that unveil the wonders of nature, our programs are designed to inspire young minds and forge friendships that will last a lifetime. Join us for CARD’s Homeschool Programs—where the journey is just beginning, and the wonders never cease.

    Let's Create! Art & Craft Classes for Kids!

    Children know something that some adults may have forgotten...art is fun!! Children naturally approach art with a freedom and curiosity that makes art enjoyable. It is a privilege as a teacher to encourage this joy of learning and growth through artistic exploration and expression. During these art classes, we spend time drawing and painting, using various mediums such as pencil, colored pencil, and watercolor. We may also use tempura paint, acrylic paint, and collage for various projects and crafts.
