About Q 8 KIDS

How it all started

We have been homeschooling our crew since 2009 when our oldest son needed more attention than the local school could offer. We have developed our teaching style from being straight curriculum base to a mix of traditional curriculum, unschooling, and experiential learning. During the 2020 school year we introduced lessons economics and entrepreneurship. The kids were intrigued by the idea of running a business. As a result we assigned them a summer project of designing and running a business of their choosing and control. After much brain storming we landed on selling our Cottage Food products at local farmers markets. What we thought would just be a off adventure has turned into a passion the kids want to develop. Thus Quinlan 8 Kids Interested in Developing Skills (Q 8 KIDS) was born.
