What we Believe

The Garden is a Non-Profit Christian homeschool community dedicated to supporting and empowering families as they begin and grow in their homeschooling journey. Rooted in faith and guided by biblical values, we provide encouragement, resources, and educational support to help parents feel confident in homeschooling their children. Our community offers opportunities to connect with like-minded families, build meaningful relationships, and gain a greater understanding of NYS homeschooling regulations. Through preschool tutoring services, support for learning at home, and quarterly family field trips, we strive to create a nurturing environment where children grow in faith, character, and early learning while families find fellowship, encouragement, and community along the way.

“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.” 1 Thessalonians 3:12

Vision Statement

Our vision is to build a vibrant community of homeschool families where faith is strengthened, families are connected, parents are encouraged and supported academically, and future generations are equipped for God’s glory.

Angelina's Inspiration 

After beginning my personal homeschooling journey I realized how many young parents wanted to homeschool…..or wished they could. So many families did not feel capable, or could even wrap their heads around where to start. I want the Garden of Eden to be that place….here is where you can start!
