**Sorry for the cross-posts, just trying to cover our bases!**

Learn, Explore, Adventure & Play, take the LEAP into unschooling! We are a
support group for parents/guardians of unschoolers. We are pretty relaxed
about pretty much everything. We are a secular (non-religious-affiliated)
group.

As unschoolers, we believe that child-led learning is preferable to
curriculum use. We are not a conservative school-at-home group, and find
little reason to discuss curriculum but can get intense about respecting
children and about learning. It is understood that each family is at a
different point in their journey. Not everyone on this list will be an
unschooler; some may be exploring the idea, others may be relaxed
homeschoolers interested in unschooling.

What we also see as paramount is having fun and playing together! Basically,
we like our kids, like each other's kids and enjoy spending time together.
We have regular park days, seasonal parties, field trips, "meet & greets,"
volunteer opportunities, and other events.

We are based in Southern NH Nashua/Manchester, and have members from all
over the surrounding areas.

Join us and help expand our circle with the goal of our kids being a part of
a larger group of kids who are "in the same boat" more or less! We're
looking to shatter the image of the loney, socially awkward homeschooler who
knows nobody else like him/herself. We want our kids to feel like *they*
are the norm and have a huge group of unschooled friends to prove it!
