Nicole Goff was homeschooled by "hippie" parents, tried public school for two years (8th-9th grade), excelled academically but faced bullying, and chose to return home. Now she's homeschooled five kids for 20+ years and runs Four Corners Community School—a 32-family cooperative in Florida.

What we cover:

• Florida's PEP scholarship: $8,000 per homeschool child for tutoring, curriculum, sports, music lessons, and more
• Waldorf education philosophy: waiting until age 7 to teach reading and prioritizing imagination
• Starting and sustaining a homeschool co-op from 2 families to 32 (including during COVID)
• Screen time reality: why tech CEOs ban social media for their own kids and how to protect yours
• Socio-emotional learning done right vs the concerning agenda in some public schools
• Teaching special needs and dyslexic kids at home
• The mistake of bringing "school" into your home (curriculum burnout and constant battles)
• Parent emotional regulation: Nicole's #1 strategy for the hardest homeschool days

Perfect for: Parents considering homeschooling, veteran homeschoolers needing encouragement, anyone wanting to start a homeschool co-op, moms struggling with burnout, families exploring Waldorf/unschooling/experiential learning methods.
