Likes: I love this gentle approach. I used it with my daughter but we got away from it for awhile. We are now getting back to it with my two sons.

The literature is just wonderful, the ideas are thoughtful and helpful. We still remember fondly the stories that we read when she was younger.

For awhile I worried that learning this way was not "good enough". But I am finding, after a couple of years of homeschooling, this program is just the thing that does spark a love for learning in my children and that is what really matters!

Dislikes: I worried about the lack of sequential learning. If you are workbook oriented, this may not be for you. If you are interested in Charlotte Mason or unit studies, this is a great starting place. If you want to go from point a, to point b and then c, this program may scare you.
