The question on everyone’s lips, as old as homeschooling itself, is always, “What about socialization?”

Do you feel like people might have a point when they ask you that question?  Do you feel alone in your homeschool endeavors or looking for more opportunities for social interaction for your children and yourself?

The good news is that in Santa Clarita there is no need to feel alone.  There are multiple support groups and other opportunities for socializing.

Here are some free, open support groups:
