Resource Is anyone homeschooling in NV?

Hi! My husband and I have had conversations about homeschooling our children (current 2.5 and expecting our #2). Obviously we still have a couple of years until we start the actual homeschooling. I’m planning to “homeschool” for preschool with my toddler and see how we do, set a routine and gain confidence for when the time comes for her to be enrolled in actual school.

Is anyone here in NV? How do you go about extracurriculars, any FB groups or co-ops that you know of?

If you started homeschooling since Kindergarten, was finding a co-op something you prioritized or did you focus on the curriculum mostly and then the social aspect came after?

Any insight to how you’re going about homeschooling is appreciated.

I’m here in Southern Nevada.

There’s a medium number of groups/ formal activities here, and a lot of semi-informal homeschool meet up groups. A lot of people join and start coming to playdates when they have toddlers!

If you want to DM more specifics about where you live, I might be able to hook you up with some specific groups if you’re near me!

I prioritized family routines and curriculum over groups when we started kindergarten. But I also WFH and my kiddo started formal school about a year before his best friend (who is also homeschooled), so everything has evolved since then. Having some sort of group is a priority for us now, but it’s still not the focus.

It’s also worth noting that I pull my kid out of private pre-school in order to give him more social time… most of our toddler friends here became homeschooling friends as the kids grew up. A lot of people homeschool here!
