"We have been using Sonlight since the beginning of our homeschooling journey nine years ago," writes missionary mom Vanessa, currently in Kenya. "Our youngest has just finished kindergarten and loved every minute of it. I'm blown away to admit that even after the fourth time through the kindergarten program, I still loved it, too! Sonlight creates a great adventure in learning and chooses books that are enjoyable to read year after year." Pictured, Vanessa enjoys some poetry with Arielle (6). This photo was captured by fellow missionary mom Brittany F, who looks forward to Sonlighting her own children one day.

As soon as I saw Sonlight's Instructor's Guides and what awesome books we'd enjoy reading together, I didn't have to look further. My husband and I are teachers by training, so we understand the time necessary for good planning and a successful learning experience. As a mother, I also recognize that I don't have that kind of time anymore. I want to spend my days with my family, not planning for the next school day. Sonlight provides great books, incredibly organized and detailed lesson plans, the freedom to do what works best for our family, and the opportunity to teach our Christian faith.
