CCHE membership is open to all interested persons in sympathy with the purpose of CCHE. This includes parents, grandparents, teachers, et cetera and is not limited to those with school age children. As an organization, CCHE is consistently and forthrightly Christian in all of its activities and publications. However, members are not required to agree with our Statement of Faith.

This group is for mature teens who socialize well with other youth. Chaperones will be present at all events; however, their job will be to ensure safety, not enforce discipline. Children who have difficulty integrating with this group, or who exhibit behavior problems, need to be supervised by their own parents at all times, and may be asked to leave the group. There will be no younger siblings permitted at any of the events except those deemed "family" – no exceptions. A minimum of 2 adults will chaperone each event, more as needed, and all parents will need to take turns supervising events. Elizabeth Mock and Erin Johnson will act as group moderators.

The main goal is to bring together families, who are choosing homeschooling as a way of life for their children, for social activities such as park playdates, swimming, field trips and parent run opportunities. Feel free to post questions, share resources and send invitations for playdates/activities to the group or any/all social/internet/etc. mediums you prefer. Be respectful of each other's individual goals, teaching styles and family lifestyles.

If you have privacy set where no one can email you...please email us at ehsconnections@gmail.com with details on where you live and child(ren) ages. This is for the security of the group! Thanks!

HEARTS for was founded in Washington State for parents who Homeschool Elementary age children in general and special education residing in the King County and Snohomish County areas. Together we organize annual social and educational events and activities during the academic school year for Elementary age children, ages 3-11. As we grow we will plan on serving older students as well.

Some of the benefits for joining HEARTS Homeschool Group are:

• As a group member you will receive discounted rates to many events and some are even free. As a group, we receive school discount rates and other group benefits for events at the museums, theater, arts, zoo, aquarium etc.
• The enrichment classes and events that we have chosen encompass various curriculum areas as in the arts, sciences, history, language arts, theater, drama and music. Some of these venues will expose our children to different academic curriculum that will be interactive and will challenge them both mentally and socially.
• There will be many opportunities to provide social skills development for our children in a class environment with their peers as well as in the community. Children will have ample opportunities to meet each other, make friendships as well as develop social skills as choosing, sharing, turn taking, following directions, remaining on task, working individually as well as in a group as they learn from each other while they interact socially within our community.
• Through parent support groups, parents will be provided homeschooling resources and educational support.
