At Little Homeschool Records, we create secular unit studies designed to support learners at every stage of their educational journey. Our approach is rooted in experiential and inquiry-based pedagogy, emphasizing hands-on learning, critical thinking, and meaningful connections to real-world applications. Each unit is crafted to inspire curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning.
We understand that no two learners are alike, and our unit studies reflect that. While levels are developed using general age and grade milestones, they are flexible and adaptable to each learner’s needs. A child exploring a new subject may start at a lower level to build confidence, while an advanced learner may excel at a higher level. This customization ensures learners are challenged appropriately and supported as they grow.
Our studies progress naturally with the learner:
For younger learners, units are educator-led, focusing on guided activities, storytelling, and hands-on exploration.
As learners mature, units encourage independence, critical thinking, and self-direction, preparing them for real-world success and lifelong learning.
We are dedicated to creating unit studies that go beyond traditional academics, focusing on skills and knowledge that help learners navigate life with confidence. Our goal is to provide meaningful, adaptable resources that fit your family’s unique needs while maintaining a foundation of inclusivity and thoughtful engagement.
