The Village Learning Co-op is a beautiful grass roots, not for profit community group for homeschooling families in the Margaret River Region, Western Australia. We began as a small group of homeschooling families, coming together once a week for connection, creativity and time in nature and to foster a sense of community and belonging for our children and families. As our children have grown, their needs have expanded and so has our Village Learning Co-op! We now offer a holistic & child centred, 3 day per week learning co-operative, with a focus on group learning, creativity, play, deep nature connection, nurturing relationships & friendships and educating the heart, mind, body & soul. We are dedicated to holistic and child centred education, creating community and connection and offer a number of options for different families needs, desires and capacities, including open and free of charge community seasonal celebrations & events, free of charge weekly community lead groups, paid facilitated programs and one off free & paid classes & workshops, for children, teens & adults! Our Co-op is entirely community funded, primarily from the co-op families themselves and we operate on a very limited (but resourceful) budget. A couple of our fundraising goals for 2024 include: *A Yurt for our Joeys Kindy Group to use as their indoor space *To join the Our Patch environmental education program through Nature Conservation Margaret River *A storage shed for materials & supplies We are so incredibly grateful for any donations given, as these go towards basic co-op upkeep, materials, supplies and infrastructure needed and improving the groups & programs that we can offer our children. With love & gratitude, Marja (Community founder & organiser)
