Read on to learn how Arboro empowers their family.
How did you learn about Arboro Empowered?
A friend told me about Arboro when it first opened, but I didn't research it right away. A few months after that, another friend was raving about how great it was, so I decided to try out a class for my 6-year old. It was the best decision we made! Arboro has been his favorite place to go ever since.
What has been your experience at Arboro Empowered?
I'm a homeschool mom of 2 boys (plus a baby), so I'm with my kids A LOT. I love how Arboro gives me the chance to drop them off and be assured that they are receiving quality instruction, being challenged academically, and making lots of new friends. Out of all the activities we participate in, Arboro has always been the favorite with my kids. They think about things, they create, they discuss, and they also give me a little time to be alone. :)
What three words describe the culture and community at Arboro?
Open, engaging, honest
What skills or experiences is your child gaining in their classes at Arboro?
Learning to think critically, deal with new situations, disagree respectfully, and make friends
How do you feel empowered as a parent at Arboro?
I feel some of that homeschool burden of "doing it all" lifting away because I know I have a community of people who are dedicated to teaching my children.
What’s your favorite way to spend your time while your kids are in classes?
Before the baby was born, I would curl up and read a book, or go run errands without distraction. Now that the baby is here, I spend time with her! There's a nice trail near Arboro that we like to walk in. I also use some of the time when one child is in Arboro to work individually with the other one.
What would you say to a parent who is on the fence about signing their kid up for their first class?
Do it! There are lots of options for all age groups, and everyone is so nice! Try out one class one day a week, and see how it goes. No pressure . . . but you'll love it!
