Barefoot Days & Kaalvoetpret Encouragement Hour

ABOUT

We invite parents who have purchased either Barefoot Days or Kaalvoetpret to an hour of encouragement.

Shirley and Wendy will host the event, but joining us are the other homeschooling moms who worked on the project with us.

We will offer you support and encouragement as well as a time for you to ask your questions about using the programme or specifics about the various elements of it.

We also invite parents who are curious about this brand new homeschool programme. Come along and have a peek into what it is, why it offers you something different and why it works.

Barefoot Days (Kaalvoetpret in Afrikaans) is a brand new Charlotte-Mason style home education programme for ages 4-8. It is a story-based learning programme offering monthly themes suited for young children, such as:

• My body and my identity
• My family
• My community
• My environment 
• Wildlife etc.

There are five stories to enjoy for each theme plus activities to develop the following:

• Art Appreciation 
• Music Appreciation 
• Nature Study
• Poetry 
• Habits and Character Training 
• Physical Activities to get bodies moving and develop gross and fine motor skills
• Hands-on arts, crafts, experiments and other appropriate activities

Most importantly, each module contains tips, encouragement and inspiration for parents as we know how daunting the task of teaching and training young children can be to a mother, alone at home, who often feels inexperienced and unsure. Download a sample of the parent guide here .
