Mindful Minds Homeschooling Cooperative

We are a small mixed-aged homeschooling group based in Northern Westchester, New York. Our gatherings take place indoors & outdoors, rain or shine!

Our homeschooling group is more than just a space for early childhood learning. We are a space for families passionate about conscious living. We focus on nature-based and social emotional learning supported by a licensed social worker. To build a stronger connection with our environment and a resilient love for nature, we encourage children to be curious and explore! Children should dress ready for nature’s mess.

Trees will be climbed,

dirt will be dug,

puddles will be splashed,

and laughter will be had.

COMMITMENTS

We ask families to put their screened devices (smartphones, tablets, etc,) on silent or airplane mode and away during gatherings as it is known to disrupt the learning process.

Embracing nutritious foods is a commitment we share in our collective to expose our little ones to a regular lifestyle full of fresh foods. In a culture of sugar and snacks, we are taking a different stance. In our gathering space, we ask parents not to bring any artificial or processed foods or snacks. What’s growing this season? A simple rule of thumb is if the food doesn’t rot after a few days, it’s probably artificial or processed. We love foods with a natural expiration date!

Building community is another important part of our homeschooling mission. We organize opportunities for families to volunteer in the community together.
