Hometeam FAQS:
Hometeam offers great flexibility when choosing your classes.
Feel free to pick and choose. You can pick one class or choose a full day of classes!
We offer three different options for your homeschooling style.
Options 1: Co-op- This is a great option for those who would like to stay during the day and help out or teach in the various classes. If you stay and help there is no drop off fee.
Option 2: Drop Off- Does your child see just one or two classes they are interested in and you would prefer not to stay? Then this option is for you. The cost to drop off your child and not participate as a parent is only $25 per class/per semester/per child in addition to the regular class fee. (ie. attend all three hours add an additional $75 to your costs for the WHOLE semester per child.)
Option 3: Membership Only - ***NEW THIS YEAR -- Membership Only Option - - $20/ year & volunteer to plan one event.
CASH ONLY ! You can drop off your registration, and money to Lora Saul, or you can mail your registration paperwork and make payment at orientation in person. Please reach out if you are not sure where to mail/drop-off your registration packet. All Registration paperwork and forms will be posted on our private page, nothing will be posted on the website for registration while we are invite only. All payment must be made in full before the 1st Hometeam.

- Welcome to Faith Hometeam, we are looking forward to an amazing semester.
- What if my child is not old enough for the Kindergarten classes but I am teaching them K level curriculum - The children do best when they are mature enough to be in the grade level and away from their family for the time in classes. Kindergarten must be 5 by 11/1 of the current year. We do not move up children to the next level in the current year. If you start in the fall semester in Preschool you can move up the following fall.
- What if I want to be in ALL my child's classes - Understand that if every parent wishes to be in there children's classes, that we would not have a co-op, we need parent helpers in every class. We do take into account health issues.. We do our best to accommodate your wishes, but many times it is impossible and we need parents in all classes.
- What if my child doesn't like their classes - We allow changes to be made after our first session for one week. Parents can email [email protected], to request a change to their class or their children's class. Changes must be made requested within 7 days of our first meeting, and the new class option must be AVAILABLE. Lora can provide a list of available options.
- Can I take my Preschooler/infant/nursery child into my classes - We make exceptions to infants (wearing), but toddlers and preschoolers should not be taken into the K-12 classes. Many times the classes are busy and need all the parent helpers they have scheduled in the class. Often times if your child is inconsolable in the nursery area, we will bring them to you and someone will trade spots so that you can stay with your little one in the nursery area.
- Can I get a refund? - No Refunds are given after the first week of Hometeam. Class changes are addressed above. Adjustments to your fees will be made for any class changes and a bill/refund will be given the 3rd/4th week of Hometeam. No refunds will be given if shut down due to government orders. If you fail to show up for two consecutive weeks without notifying the coordinator you will be removed from the roster and no refunds are granted.
