- Kids Out Reach Team (Kids_Out_Reach_Team) - K.O.R.T. is designed for homeschooled kids of all ages, in and around the metro Detroit area to find volunteer opportunities. Reaching out to others is all too often left out of childrens lives due to hectic schedules and lack of resources. We hope to make K.O.R.T. a wonderful source of information and opportunities for the kids. If you want to include volunteering in your childs life and education, I welcome you to join. Records will be kept to keep track of all your childs work. Volunteering looks great on college applications. It will take the combined effort of all members to run this group effectively. I hope you'll feel free to post about any volunteer opportunities you hear of :o)
A weekly updated on-line newsletter will be sent to all members. If you would like to add any information, please contact me at danasmamma21@netzero.net.

Better Late Than Early
A New Approach to Your Child’s Education
by Raymond S. Moore
|
| Raymond & Dorothy Moore spent years investigating the results of early education. They examined other studies and did their own studies. They found that in the early years, up to somewhere around ages 8 to 10, it is best for children to be at home in a loving and supportive environment. They found that children who are kept home until they are ready for school quickly catch up with the early starters.
