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. Mom and Dad here share the Good News with Lucas (5, Core A, Science A) and Carlos (2).

"As a mom of three young kids, I wasn't sure if I could do a good job teaching them at home," writes Laura H of Lansing, MI. "But Sonlight makes it so easy to open the lesson plan for the day, and get it done. We love having a curriculum with quality books, that has a schedule to follow, and tells you exactly what to do each day. We love the stories written by missionaries, and written about other places around the world. It helps us remember to pray for our missionary friends who are overseas. We love Sonlight, and we are so glad we chose it from the beginning!" Here, Isabelle (5, Kindergarten) and Gabriel (3) enjoy story-time with The Arnold Lobel Book of Mother Goose from the Kindergarten All-Subjects Package.

"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.
