I have 3 children ages 6, 5, and 1. I love the nature aspect of it. Thanks for the chance to win!
Marilyn
My children are 11, 10, 9 and 6. This appeals to me bc I am still trying to figure out how to ” loosen up” with schooling. Finding curriculum is stressful to me.
Gwen @ ButtercupsBabies.com
My children are 8, 6, and 3. I think the greatest appeal of this curriculum is that it seems to really try to integrate the “whole child”, rather than just a focus on academics. I would really love a chance to try this out with my littles!
Jocelyne Postma
I am a complete novice homeschooler. My boys are 4 and 5 and love to be outside and “play art”, so this nature-based learning really appeals to me. I also like the interdisciplinary approach to learning.
Alicia
Mine are 5, 3, and 1. I love oak meadow and how relaxed and engaging it is for the kids.
Cassi
I am a first year homeschoolers of 3, 6 and 9 year old kids. Oakwood was one of the very first sites that peaked my interest and to which I could align my homeschool’s vision and mission.
Larissa
My kiddos are 17, 15, 9, and 2. I love Oak Meadow’s basis in literature, and its focus on the arts.
Georgiana U
My kids are 6 and 3. I’ve been wanting to try this curriculum for a long time but have been hesitant since we are enrolled in Classical Conversations and was afraid of too many curriculums at once. But I’ve heard they compliment each other well and I’d love to try something more mature and creative based to help round-out my son’s education..especially in this highly digitized world. I’d love to help nurture a love for all that is real!
Georgiana U
I meant more “nature-based” not “mature”
Kelli S
My kids are 10, 6 and 4 and I like the nature based, flexible layout of Oak Meadow that also allows children to learn and search on their own path 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway!
Stefanie Summers
My kids are 12,7&5. My kids love anything that combine their own creativity and nature together but they need a little more structure to lessons and this curriculum seems to be just what we are looking for. We would love to try it out.

I have a 7 year old son and it is so tough to find ways to keep him engaged with homeschooling. I think this program will provide the hands on style learning he responds to best and it adds the natural world element we are looking for

Samantha Webb
I have two boys ages 2 and 4 and two foster daughters ages 1 and 3. I have been researching educational philosophies and curriculum as my son nears kindergarten age. I have fallen in love with the Waldorf philosophy. Oak Meadow, though not fully Waldorf from what I have read, seems like a great curriculum that incorporates much of what I love about Waldorf.
Shannon
I love the nature focus & gentle approach of this curriculum! Would love it for my little ones.
Katie
I have a 6 year old son & 3 year old daughter. I love Oak Meadow’s emphasis on nature, as well as its focus on teaching to the heart of the child before focusing heavily on the head. This seems like a great fit for our family. Thank you for the chance to win!
Jenna
My girls are 8 and 12. My older one was in Waldorf for 1st thru 3rd grades and we loved it but moved and had to pull her out. I love thos curriculum because its so nature based and I love the natural learning. I would love to win this to add more of this vack into their lives!
Saraj
My children are 9, 6, 4, and 3. I love the nature inspired learning, and how this curriculum is put together. I’ve examined several of the grade-level packages, and the second grade one would be perfect for my daughter next year as we pull her out of public school and begin homeschooling her.

Katrina
I have a five year old boy, a three year old girl, and a 7 month old baby boy. I recently read an article that said children are generally outdoors roughly thirty minutes a day whereas prison inmates are given two hours a day of outdoor/recreational time. I strongly believe a multi-sensory, nature-based curriculum would be a more inspiring and motivational approach for my very active children.
Liz M
My kids are 9 and 5, and I am drawn to the flexibility of this curriculum.
Devin
My kids are 3 & 5. I love the outdoor focus of the program.
Denise
My kids are age 5, 3, and 1. I love nature and I love the teaching them through the earth, nature, and experience.
Kelly
Oh my goodness! Oak Meadow is literally the ONLY curriculum that i’ve ever looked at that i’ve considered using! I love that it’s classical-ish, hands-on, outdoorsy, that i’m able to tailor it to my area (Australia, we haven’t got much here) and it’s actually INTERESTING!
Um, yeah, I really really love it!
My kids are 12, 11, 11, 10 and 7, so this curriculum would be extremely well-used!
Now, i’m off to check out the new digital download…………..wish I hadn’t just bought a pile of other books.

My children are 9 year old Caleb, 8 year old Cyrus and 5 year old Shaye. Oak Meadow’s curriculum seems like the perfect blend of classical homeschooling and nature based learning. This is exactly wha t we have been looking for especially for our oldest who is Autistic. It will help him to blend his learning styles with the world around him! Thanks for considering us!

I have 5 kids in all, 3 boys then 2 girls. Our girls are aged 7 and 4 and I would absolutely LOVE to use this curriculum with them – the crafts, the beautiful books, the flexible and more organic approach, I think they would respond so well. And we live in Australia – so I’m very excited with fingers and toes crossed!!!
Brenda
My kids are four, three, and three-weeks-old. I’ve been writing my own preschool lessons, but with a new baby, an easy-to-use curriculum looks more practical for next year and Oak Meadow seems like a good match for our hands-on philosophy.

cassie
My kids are 7 2 and 6 months. I love the Waldorf elements while being laid back about the curriculum. It’s beautiful and flow like the ocean. Instead of pressuring kids. And I like that letters are taught as sound and shape at once.
larissa
My kids ar 12, 10, 8, 4 and 1. And I love everything about oak meadow. We are in the market for a new multi-age curriculum, and this seems to combine waldorf and classical education in a beautiful way, which is a perfect fit for my schooling philosophies and the kids’ learning styles.
Brittany
My daughter is 4, she will be 5 in August act’s we’re currently searching for the right kindergarten curriculum for her. Oak Meadows intrigues me in many ways, one being nature incorporation!

Gretchen
I have a 10 year old son, 8 year old daughter and a 2 year old daughter. We’ve been attending a very rigorous co-op, where both the kids and I have learned a lot, but I’ve been seriously considering a change. Oak Meadow is appealing because it combines solid academics with a creative, flexible and nature-inspired curriculum. We’ve looked at it online and my kids are excited!!!!

My boys are 8 and 5. So far our homeschooling journey has been pretty relaxed and off the cuff but with my oldest being 3rd grade age next year I am interested in bringing a little more structure and sequence to our learning without losing the flexibility and hands on learning that we have enjoyed so far. Plus 2 days a week we attend a Waldorf inspired co-op so I feel like Oak Meadow is the perfect convergence of all the things we are looking for. Thanks so much for the giveaway!!!!

My kids just turned 7 and 9. What I love about Oak Meadows is that the curriculum promotes caring and supportive relationships. This is also reflected in the counseling and faculty support provided to parents. This philosophy of a loving foundation is the whole reason I homeschool!

Exploring the world around you and learning with Oak Meadow is exciting for students. Experiencing life as it happens around you and learning with hands on activities keeps children engaged and they look forward to what the next day brings.

Good morning!
My daughter is almost 7 and my son is 5. My son is currently in a Montessori program for one more year after this school year. This is the first year homeschooling for my daughter. She previously attended the Montessori school through Kindergarten and we still haven’t really clicked with any of the homeschooling curriculum we’ve tried so far. I came across Oak Meadow and am ready to try this gentle, yet engaging approach. My daughter loves to read and loves nature, arts and crafts. It seems like a wonderful fit!

Julie Turnbull
As full time guardians to three grandchildren (12, 10 and 9), having already seen our three children through from birth to college school free, I am worried that I am getting jaded with our home planned lessons. Here in the UK there is little choice of home curriculum to purchase and a lot of what I have looked at worldwide is very bible based and a little strict.
Oak Meadow seems pleasantly secular, easy going and child friendly, the ideal fit for us.
Bryna
Noah is seven and Milly is almost five. We have been home schooling using a different Waldorf curriculum, and I am looking for something similar for next year but with a bit more content.

My babes are 3 and 1 and this is the first homeschooling curriculum I’ve found that I felt would fit seamlessly into our family. I feel like we’re already doing it, just without the structure the curriculum would provide.

My children are 6,4 and 1. I would love to have this package for my children because it incorporates the independent learning that I love about homeschooling my children, yet being a first time homeschooling mom I’m not really sure how or where to start so this would be helpful for my whole family to get a grip on homeschooling them. I am also not financially able to get something like this on my own at this time so winning something like this would be so wonderful. Give thanks for this wonderful giveaway! I’m sure whoever wins will be very appreciative!! 🙂

My children are 9 and 6. Oak Meadow appeals to me as we already follow a loose ‘Nature based’ home education philosophy, but it takes up SO much or my time to research and plan that I don’t have as much energy for my children as i would like.
Ragen Jennings
My children are: in the womb, 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 13, & 16. The life integration, nature focus, and independent study option are very attractive. Having it set out for me would make our daily lives easier as well!

My home resembles a mini Camphill. Our family includes my 14 yo nephew, my 8 year old daughter & 1 yo baby plus a lady with Down Syndrome. Homeschooling gives us the structure that we need while giving me the time & ability to work on life long skills. Oak Meadow has a structure that honors children’s need to explore, be active, be a being within the natural world & allows children to become creative thinkers. As a former special ed teacher I’m drawn to Oak Meadow due to its well written content within a creative & solid foundation. I’m grateful for options such as Oak Meadow for my family.

My children are 7, 5, and 2. I love the natural flow and rhythm that Oak Meadow gives. I also love the focus on nature and creativity.

This way of educating is respectful to the child’s ability to learn in their own individual way, building confidence & trust in ones own capabilities. This is exactly what we need for him. I also can appreciate the guidance & help offered to the Home Teachers. We have been doing private school for last 2 years & have decided to finally Home School. So excited for us to start!

I have four boys ages 10, 8, 5, and 3. The two oldest have birthdays this summer. They are currently in 4th and 3rd grade, and although my 5 year old will be kindergarten age this fall, he already is reading at a 2nd grade level, so he kind of skipped that. I have been using Oak Meadow since I started homeschooling my oldest in 1st grade and we absolutely love it! It allows so much freedom for the kids to learn and grow at their own pace and using nature as your teacher makes learning easy and enjoyable.

My girls are 4 and 1 so we will be starting more formal homeschooling in the next couple years. Like many have already said, Oak Meadow seems like an extension of our home life, really keeping the HOME in HOMEschool.

My boys are 5 and 7. We loved the first grade curriculum especially the gnome math stories.

My kids are 8 and 2. We love a lot about Oakland Meadows. My daughter loves opening circle and lighting the candle. I love that she enjoys learning with this program.

I love the hands-on and gentle approach of this curriculum! My children are 8, 6, 4 and 2.
Thanks!

Hi, my kids are aged 12, 8 and 5 years. The Oak Meadow curriculum has intrigued me for some time now but finances have prevented me from biting the bullet, so to speak. I like the hands on, experiential approach to learning that Oak Meadow offers as well as the arts (music, painting, drawing and so on) being intertwined in the learning. With two very outdoor inclined children (younger two) the hands on projects and nature based learning are appealing. It is also nice to know that help is at hand with Oak Meadow teachers available to contact. Thanks.

My kids are 10, 8, 5, and 1. I like the idea of having everything all ready for me in a curriculum.

Morgan
My daughters are 5, 1, and 1. We really live by nature literally and figuratively and Oak Meadow would greatly compliment our philosophy on life.

I heard of your program thru a friend and it really appeals to me! My daughter is almost 5 and is always outside, true nature child. The fact that it is nature based is perfect for us 🙂

My kids are 11 & 8… We’ve been seriously considering homeschooling our children and Oak Meadows hands-on, nature driven approach is extremely appealing to us!
Wendy
My kids are 9 and 7 1/2. What I love about Oak Meadow is that it’s Waldorf-inspired but not Waldorf, nature-based, and allows our family so much freedom.
Suzanne
I like that it’s waldorf inspired. My kids are 6, 3, and 1.
Mangala
My boys are 3 and 8 years old, and the older one is going to be home-schooling from this year onwards, having attended a Waldorf school up to now. I appreciate the Oak Meadow curriculum for having many Waldorf elements while also meeting the needs of the individual child.

My children are 9, 7, 5, and 4. Fighting between the kids is one of the biggest problems in our day! When we are outside, it rarely happens! I would love a curriculum that helps me get out more and fosters a love for nature and each other.
