Your homeschool partner in Wake Forest, NC.

Making successful homeschooling happen for all types of families!

More than a co-op our offerings include: drop-off schoolhouse meetings for students, collaboration sessions with parents, learning plans and materials, field trips, and connections with experienced educators and specialists. We are homeschool with help, a collaboration between skilled teachers, homeschoolers, and fresh eyes.

We all seek the best-fit education for our children; not everyone can take on homeschooling full-time or wishes to go at it alone. Dandelion Learning is a solution. We offer balance - private learning experiences and a Montessori education at an approachable price.

We celebrate that parents are their children's first and best teachers. We invest in the entire family. We'll gladly support your registration with the state of North Carolina and serve as your homeschool tutor. We'll partner with you to keep records, report to the state, and design schedules and learning goals that are just right for your family.

You and your children have a lot to contribute! Please check out our offerings and plan to join us.

A Closer Look

Your Co-Teacher

Hello! I'm Dalton Onorato, I'm a teaching mother of three fifteen years into a career in education and teacher mentoring. I believe that children are always learning. My professional credentials include Montessori, educational equity, k-12 certification in language and special education, and k-8 certification in academic subject areas. Take a look at my resume. I understand the full scope and sequence of learning and child development and how to create opportunities for individuals. I look forward to partnering with you!

Tailored Curriculum

As your homeschool partner, I provide the framework and materials to ensure continued progress towards both personal goals and the requirements put in place by the state of North Carolina. We create and implement individualized work plans, records of attendance, and annual assessments. Your child will experience ever-growing learning opportunities and meet goals that are determined by you - not by the state.

The Schoolhouse

The schoolhouse is our house. It is a place where children experience personalized learning, access to carefully selected learning materials, and cooperative learning with peers. Our meeting schedule allows homeschooling parents time apart from their children during the week and provides children time to practice concentration and independence in a supportive home environment.

Peace Education

In our schoolhouse, we trust in the spirit of children. We practice grace, courtesy, and respect for learners. We know that learning stops under stress and that curiosity thrives when there is clarity. Our community provides freedom within limits. This means that character is nurtured in a warm working environment.

Multi-Age Learning

All of us learn the most from those with experiences different from our own. In a multi-age setting, children have opportunities to mentor and develop trusting relationships. This helps us to keep the peace and elevate learning for all.

We're not Winging It

While we don't give grades, we do pay attention to growth - and we do provide feedback. We invest in interest and fascination and have fundamental academic lessons at the ready when kids are ready for them.
