“The pre-school/kindergarten lesson plans were very helpful for getting started with "how-to" homeschool!”

“Thank heaven for CHC materials and God bless all of you who work there. We're in our 3rd year with CHC and you can count on our order for Year 4 in a couple of weeks. With 3 boys, a business and two ranches, we don't have time to mess around experimenting and guessing and reinventing the wheel of Catholic education. We've trusted your program and lesson plans and have two above-average readers and eager learners who never complain about doing their school work each day. Thank you, CHC.”

“I just wanted to write to thank you for your wonderful materials, and especially for the daily lesson plans. I am a mom of 6, with 4 that are homeschooling in 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th grade. In addition, I am taking classes online through our community college. Having your lesson plans for the upcoming school year has lifted such a burden off of me. Last school year was our first year and I used a different provider that did not have daily lesson plans available. It was such drain on me after I started back to school to have to plan school for the 4 children. I am so looking forward to this coming year with your materials and daily plans and really feel relieved. Your plans fit our budget this year as well. As you know, some other providers either require enrollment or the course/lesson plans are rather expensive. With our tight budget, I had to buy some of the books used but I hope to be able to buy more directly from you, as I know how tight budgets can be in a business. Thank you again, and may God continue to bless your ministry.”

“Thank you for making homeschooling so much easier!”

“I want to emphasize our great appreciation of your lesson plans and guides. I would describe our budding homeschool experience as above average compared to fellow Catholic homeschool moms I've met who are starting out. I am refreshed each week with the certainty of knowing that we accomplished our educational goals without being overwhelmed. My husband compliments me on how well our boys are doing and is often amazed by our oldest's accomplishments from week to week.”

“I ordered your new Kindergarten lesson plans as I will be teaching my 5th Kindergartener in the fall. I was looking for some inspiration in an effort to keep kindergarten fun but still productive, even though I have taught it several times. I think that my upcoming K'er will have the best experience yet. There is no way a child could complete the CHC course of study and *not* have a strong foundation for a deep love of the Faith. Thanks so much!”

“CHC has been a blessing to us! We have homeschooled from the very beginning and have tried many different options. Designing our own program, enrolling in a school, using classical lesson plans, etc. This year with CHC is the first year that I'm not looking for a different curriculum option for next year. I know that, with some minor tweaking, CHC lesson plans will meet the needs of our family. What a relief! A burden has been lifted off my shoulders! Thank you so much.”

| “I just received my very first order and began teaching my oldest with your Kindergarten curriculum. As a new homeschooling mom, I wanted to tell you how much I liked what we received!
The lesson plans are very well written and easy to follow, even for a beginner. I was quite impressed with how well Bible History and Religion work simultaneously following the liturgical year! What a blessing.
I was impressed with all of the materials we received, as well. We especially like God's Love Story. My son wanted to read the whole thing in one sitting! I noticed how using the Image of God Teacher's Edition it is possible to teach 3, 4 and 5 year olds with the same lesson, and age-appropriate worksheets. This is very helpful for homeschooling multiple ages, especially for including little ones in school-time.
Thank you for making these materials available to Catholic homeschooling families at such affordable prices!”
- Sarah, Kansas |
“We're still relatively new so the lesson plans are my favorite thing. While I'm used to upper level teaching (I'm a college prof teaching online classes now so I can stay home with the kids), I'm not comfortable with knowing when different topics are age appropriate for younger kids. I'm in the strange situation of being completely confident in my ability to homeschool high school but not so confident about elementary school. The lesson plans are a big part of what brought me to CHC.”
- Kirsten, New Mexico |
“I recently ordered and received your Kindergarten Lesson Plans. They are beautiful! As a fairly new homeschooling family, I really need lessons planned out for me. We are in our second year fully enrolled with [pre-packaged curriculum provider]. While I really like their materials, lesson plans, etc., I've been drawn more and more to your products, buying a little here and a little there. I feel like I don't have the time, or confidence to plan out a whole year's worth of lessons for all of my children. Cost is also a factor for us, as I know it is for most families. You've provided a much less expensive alternative for our family! THANK YOU!”

“I have a child in 2nd grade, a child in 1st grade and a child in pre-school. With the school books from CHC, it's so easy for me to work with all of them, separately or together. They learn to work together and feel connected to each other by learning the same or similar things. So besides it being easier on me it also brings the children closer together. What a great blessing that is coming from something a little unexpected!”
- Amber, CO |
“What a wonderful endeavor you have going with CHC. I send you my thanks for all that you and your organization are doing to help homeschooling parents and students! My prayer is that through organizations like yours (taking the stress out of homeschooling and making it truly achievable) MORE families will start and continue homeschooling. I've told everyone I know about CHC and how your materials, and the overall content on your website, has helped me. Thanks again!”
- Andrea, ON, Canada |
“I started to homeschool my 5 year old son this year using the kindergarten materials. He is very "distractable" and I find that your materials are quick and easy to do with him for the short time I have his attention :) . He has a difficult time reading but he has shown a vast improvement and I can't imagine where he would be if I had put him in school.

“Last year, my kids were so excited when their schoolbooks arrived that they begged me to start school early. What a treat to see them excited about learning! Thank you, CHC.”

“My mother home-schooled me and my sisters and she used your catalog every year! Now it is my turn.”

“We got off to a slow start with my eldest daughter, Faith, who just turned 6 in May, with CHC's Kindergarten Curriculum. It was a slow start all around as I was learning how to be disciplined in teaching everyday, balancing the time and attention my other two smaller children needed, and my husband getting laid-off and subsequently home for most of the school year looking for a job. We have been "behind" almost since we started with Faith quickly grasping anything having to do with Mathematics but struggling to understand even the basics of phonics. I am glad that I stuck with the Little Stories for Little Folks phonics program. Faith already knew the letters and their sounds, but putting sounds together remained extremely difficult for her. This was a girl who could add and subtract in her head, but couldn't remember basic two letter blends! Your program made it so easy to stick with even though we were struggling, and it has finally paid off! Just after Faith's 6th birthday, something clicked and she understood how to string the sounds together. Thanks to your program's easy lay-out we were able to make quick progress in this area and are almost caught up in a short amount of time. Thank you so much for your wonderful curriculum! I have been VERY pleased and pleased to recommend you to my sister-in-law and a friend who are starting CHC now. I am confident that we will finish by the end of June and am looking forward to teaching 1st grade next year. ”

“I just wanted to send a little note to tell how excited I am about next year. I bought your lesson plans and curriculum for all 6 of my kids for next year. We will be in 8th, 6th, 5th, and 3 kindergarteners. I've been working on the lesson plans and it's exciting and wonderful to see what they will be learning. I love your stuff! My daughter in 7th loves Lingua Mater and the 2 others their Language of God. We did a CHC curriculum fair at our house for our homeschooling group last semester, and 5 families have bought or are in the process of purchasing your total curriculum for next year. God bless you and all the authors for putting out a truly solid, affordable, gentle help for all of us! Thank you.”

“Our family has gained so much from using your lesson plans. It has made us have a practical plan to put God first in our studies and CHC has such rich, quality products that teach so much more that I ever learned growing up Catholic. My 8th grader loved the Lifework and DVD on Completely Christ's, my Kinder's have learned so much using the religion and lessons. Keep up the good work, God Bless...”

| “This is my first year homeschooling. I had tried several different types of materials before a friend told me about CHC. After looking at your website, I immediately ordered the PreK/Kindgarten Lesson plans. I had intended on teaching my 5 year old daughter the PreK material, especially since we were already in the month of November, but I couldn't resist going into some of the kindgarten lessons as well, as she seemed ready for them. I soon realized she was ready for Kindergarten, and we have been pressing on with that ever since. We have to go into the summer to get caught up, but it's been such a blessing to be able to challenge her on her level during our school time. I wouldn't have considered teaching her Kindergarten this year had it not been packaged with the the PreK Lesson Plans. Smart Move CHC!!
When I first started trying to "homeschool" this year, I felt very disorganized. This was going to be my "trial year" - the year that would determine if we would continue on this path. I was feeling very frustrated before I found your material. After using your material for seven months now, I am now confident in answering God' call to homeschool my children. The religious education we have been studying in the "Who Am I" series has deepened my whole families faith and as a Catholic convert, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to learn Catholicism with her from the ground up. I can't wait to order our First Grade Curriculum! Thanks CHC.”

“I've been homeschooling for 5 years now and have been very hesitant to be "tied down" to a particular curriculum, though I frequently used your books. This year, upon request of my oldest daughter, we are trying an official lesson plan. To all of our delight, we LOVE it! It actually allows us more freedom because I don't have to do as much leg work and research. It is all right there for us! Thank you CHC!
”
- Sharon, OH |
“I can not express to you how excited I am to receive books from you whenever I order. I know that all are faithful to the Church and the kids love them. I am expecting my fourth child on Monday (4 boys!) and the oldest starts his kindergarten curriculum this fall. I just love your materials, and just wanted to say - Way to go! Thank you, God bless you, and please keep finding wonderful things for us in the trenches!”
- Beverly |
“We are excited to be ordering our 2nd son's First Grade curriculum. Last year, he did CHC's Kindergarten program and is a fine reader and loves to school. My husband and I were surprised that a 5 year old could learn to read so easily thanks to your Little Stories for Little Folks phonics and reading program. We just finished our 3rd school year with you and are excited to start our 4th year in August. We often recommend CHC to other local homeschool families who suffer from burnout. .. Thank you, CHC, you are a blessing. May God continue to bless you for all your hard work and caring of we Catholic homeschool moms!

“I have had the best year ever since I started homeschooling seven years ago. I finally have found a curriculum that suits our family perfectly-CHC! This year we had grades K, 2, 4, and 5th. I had the Kindergarten lesson plans and loved them! It is just enough structure so I felt sure we were staying on track. I didn't feel strained at all. My son finished Kindergarten last week and told me that he really learned a lot. We went to the park as suggested and had a wonderful time celebrating his hard work. Your company has wonderful customer service and I believe perfectly reflects the needs of busy moms who are trying to homeschool in addition to raising a family.

“Thank you for your hard work in publishing homeschool materials. My son has completed kindergarten! We use the chore chart cards every single day! He is reading and writing and loves to learn! He loves Jesus and Mary and I know your materials helped develop his love for them. Thank you - your materials are very child and parent friendly!”
- Lisa |
“This is our first year using your curriculum and I am loving it! I love how it is all laid out for you and how you have the option of doing the bare minimum or you can do extras depending on your time allowance. This has been such a blessing for my son- he asks to do more and reminds me we need to do it! I also love how we present only one letter per day- making learning so easy for my son- in little bits and pieces- thank you!”
- Leah, CA |
“After viewing your curricula I was very reassured that homeschooling isn't rocket science, it's first a matter of stepping out in Faith, and the life of Providence. "God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called." Boy, is that ever true. CHC was our first step into homeschooling and I'm very grateful for that. The warmth of the website is like the open Hand of Jesus, inviting you into a more excellent way. I needed exactly that when we started. I'd read other Catholic authors on homeschooling philosophy and it scared the daylights out of me. CHC erased those fears and allowed me to put my hand in Christ's--which allowed Him to lift us all up. Praise God. I especially appreciate your unwavering commitment to the Faith that is also warm and inviting. When I meet other moms who are where I was before we started, I always recommend you to them. CHC is a soft spot to land.”
