“We have been using your lesson plans for two years now - kindergarten and 1st grade. I have older children and dabbled in designing my own lesson plans and curriculum for a few years. I can tell you that your lesson plans take all the stress out of planning for me. Even if I don't have time to plan any extras, I can just open the planner on Monday and start right in with the day's assignments. If we do want to do something a little different, we just note it in the planner and everything gets recorded all together.
Some days my son whizzes ahead with his work and others he goes at the gentle pace set forth in the lesson plan. Always we benefit from the tips and inspiration included in each weekly plan. The planner also helps us keep our focus on our Catholic faith, with reminders and enrichment activities such as "church manners" and Marian, Christ and saint coloring pages. The guides are full of helpful information I refer back to throughout the year, especially when one of us hits the doldrums. The weekly activity suggestions are often helpful in adding variety to our schedule. We enjoy using the chore chart and character building cards. He will frequently pop out a memory gem weeks after he worked on memorizing it. He's not big on coloring pages but does enjoy the cut and paste activities.
I like that the planner and guide are loose, rather than bound in a book format, that way I can either put the pages in a big binder, or split them up into smaller, more portable sections. When we are on the road, the planner is easy to pack and keep us on track.
I particularly appreciate that the lesson plans are separated into core and non-core studies. If my son is struggling with a reading or math concept, I am perfectly comfortable in letting the social studies or handwriting, or other non-core subject slide in favor of spending a little extra time on the challenging core subject.
Thank you so much for taking the stress and anxiety out of lesson planning and prioritizing. School is actually fun!

| “Thank you for being here for us homeschoolers. I have always used CHC until this year (5th). I signed up for [Catholic packaged curriculum] with their counseling and turning in work. I paid a lot for it and it lasted a couple weeks before I got really frustrated and quit and lost all the money. I think [the program] is okay if your kids is at the learning level they think your child should be at (and you can sit daily without distractions to get the work done on time), but otherwise it is too much pressure to try to make my child the same as other children and pressure on my family to be on time with everything. I realized that that is why I homeschool, to adapt our year to our needs.
Thank you so so so much for selling your curriculum without having to turn in work, etc. I can take your curriculum and adapt it to our needs without pressure. You also allow families that could not afford [the Catholic packaged program] to be able to have guidance and to be able to homeschool... If it wasn't for CHC I believe I would have given up on homeschooling. God will reward you for your kindness in selling the curricula without making people enroll their children and turn in work...”
