Lessons with Littles // Preschoolers and Toddlers in the Charlotte Mason Homeschool

IN THIS EPISODE...
We chat about how to balance the needs of our preschoolers + toddlers and the demands of our school-aged children. How do we "keep our littles busy" during lessons? What ought a young child's day to look like, and how can we mesh that ideal with reality? With fourteen children between us, we give our suggestions from the Charlotte Mason perspective and lots of practical experience.
How do you find this balance in your family? Let us know in the comments!

ABOUT US
Hi there! We're Amy Snell and Celeste Cruz, two homeschoolers who live on opposite coasts of the country, yet share a love of Charlotte Mason!
We were recently the speakers for the CMEC Summer Retreat: "Awakening to a Thinking Love: Its Duties and Delights." Together, we shared two days of talks on what a Thinking Love might mean in our homes, applied to everything from chores to pre-reading to examinations. Our aim was to create a fruitful time of refreshment and reflection, solidly grounded in Charlotte Mason's philosophy and encouraging for mothers and teachers.
Now we are offering these videos to highlight and expand upon the themes of the retreat. To learn more or purchase the retreat package, visit
