We all love Sonlight for so many reasons, but one of the main reasons is that our kids have time to be KIDS! I'm so thankful that with the carefully laid-out schedule and quality Christ-based education, we can get a solid education and still have time for unstructured, creative play. Not only do they have time for academics, but they also have time to explore God's creation firsthand, not just in a book between overscheduled activities. Here, Steven (7, Core B) and Megan (4, Core A) do just that!

We're sold on Sonlight: It's backed by a tremendous amount of research and experience, it's academically rigorous, it's flexible to allow time for family and serving others, it has a scholarship program and our purchases support Christian missions. I also love that God's Word is being hidden in their young hearts. One of my favorite things about Sonlight is that we have a positive influence on our children's future, giving them a godly perspective of the world and the people in it. The P4/5 program helped our daughter memorize about 34 verses, and our son is starting to repeat verses back to us now, too! In their first year with Sonlight, Courtney (4) and Colby (2) watch mesmerized as a swallowtail butterfly emerges from its chrysalis.

I appreciate Sonlight's emphasis on spending time in daily Bible reading and scripture memory with my children. Cindy loves the natural opportunities to build family memories such as this one, where 7-year-old Quinlan shares a Bible story with his baby sister.
