Celebrating 4 years in business! I want to thank everyone for your support, referrals, and continued business. I enjoy seeing my homeschool families return each year. This location has been great for families, since they are able to grab coffee, enjoy ice cream, or do a little shopping while we work. I look forward to several more years of working with you. This is truly a blessing.

Sharing a post from North Carolinians for Home Education (NCHE)

Developmental Disabilities/Intellectual Disabilities After High School
I wanted to share with you some programs I have been made aware of these last few months. Several colleges in North Carolina and South Carolina have added programs for students with Developmental Disabilities/Intellectual Disabilities. These programs are for students after graduation from high school and are on the college campuses. These programs were developed to give students a collegiate experience. Courses that may be included are: functional academics, independent living skills, employment, and social/leisure skills. Please make sure to investigate these programs to see if one may be a program your child would benefit. If you are aware of more of these programs, please let me know.

Quick note for parents with a child who receives
504 Plan accommodations

As you prepare to send your child back to school, you may find it helpful to take a few minutes with your child to review what accommodations are written on the plan. Be sure to check if the accommodations say, “the student must request.” If this is written on the accommodation, your child needs to understand that he/she must request the accommodation. Also, review the plan to see if it states “the parent must notify the teacher” so that you will make sure to follow-up with the school when necessary. The beginning of the year activities can be very overwhelming, so a helpful reminder that your child has a 504 Plan is always a good idea. Have a great school year.

This information was provided by NCHE. I found it valuable for my home and thought I would pass it on to homeschool parents of upcoming and current high school students.

Are you heading into the high school years? This time table may be helpful. ~Debbie

May 3rd slipped by this year without a noted celebration. Anchor EEC continues to thrive. I am so grateful for the blessings I continue to receive. I want to thank all my clients, many of whom I see yearly for homeschool testing. Thank you for all the referrals you've sent my way. It is amazing that I've been open for over 3 years now. Time truly does fly! The Apex office has worked out great and continues to be a hit with parents. They enjoy the location and ease of grabbing a coffee or a nice walk while I work with their children. Happy 3rd Anniversary Anchor EEC!

NCHE provided a very detailed and helpful webinar about Annual Homeschool Testing. I thought I would share it with you. Let me know if I can help.

The state of North Carolina requires homeschool parents to give their children a nationally standardized achievement test each year. Want some answer to common questions?

Celebrating 2 years, and my move to downtown Apex. Coffee or ice cream just a short walk away.

Anchor EEC celebrated its 2nd anniversary on May 2nd, but we couldn't celebrate due to closures. Since then I have opened back up with many precautions, and I moved to downtown Apex. I am so excited about this move. There are coffee shops, restaurants, ice cream shops, and retail stores approximatel...

I added a blog post to my website today in reply to many questions I have been getting lately. I hope this will answer some questions.

Many parents are making decisions regarding how their children will be returning to school in the fall, since some counties have presented possible scenarios of how public schools will look for the upcoming year. Since the first week of July, I have been receiving calls and questions about county op...
