What we’re about
### Welcome to the London Home Education Meetup Group!
We are a vibrant community of parents and caregivers passionate about delivering a high-quality experience and education for our children through home education or unschooling.
#### What We Offer
We’re excited to announce that we’re now organizing parent and caregiver events across the greater London area for home-ed families. Whether you’re:
- A home-ed parent interested in joining,
- Hosting a home-ed get-together,
- or simply want to connect, please reach out to enquire!
Our group welcomes everyone—veteran homeschoolers, those planning to homeschool in the future, or parents interested in reducing screen time for their children. We aim to provide:
- Support and resources,
- Learning opportunities,
- Educational field trips hosted by parents and caregivers.
#### Our Core Childcare Principles
We believe in fostering a nurturing and enriching environment for children, guided by these values:
- Minimal or no screen time – our preference for a balanced childhood,
- Peaceful learning – creating space for emotional growth,
- Freedom of play – prioritizing enjoyment and creativity,
- Broad world understanding – exploring diverse perspectives,
- Hands-on experiences – art, music, and practical activities,
- Effective learning skills – teaching children how to learn,
- Contextual awareness – understanding different viewpoints,
- Age-appropriate life skills – money, health, politics, and independence.
