We are a mom-volunteer led K-12 grade enrichment co-op meeting in Prospect Heights, Illinois on Friday mornings in the Fall and Spring semesters. We also offer preschool & nursery for younger siblings. All moms actively participate, volunteering in various roles throughout the year whether it be teaching a class, coordinating a field trip or helping clean up at the end of class sessions. Our goal is to support each other in our homeschool journey. All moms have an opportunity to teach in their gifted areas. Please pray in which way you can bless our co-op by teaching a class!

Benefits of membership include:
- SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS : To encourage each other in our homeschooling endeavors by having open discussions or guest speakers who can inspire us in our homeschooling. Also, Moms-Night-Out, just to relax and talk at a local coffee shop or restaurant.
- ENRICHMENT CO-OP: Classes generally cover Gym, as well as other classes that our moms have volunteered to teach. An adult from each family will be required to teach or assist a class if your child is enrolled. Learn more about schedule and classes.
- FIELD TRIPS: Field trips range from educational to simply fun and have included guided tours at nature centers, visiting police stations and fire houses, Legolad and many other unique opportunities. A volunteer mom coordinates each field trip, occurring about once per month. Details will be posted on the website and sent via email.
- PICNIC/GRADUATION: We have a kick-off celebration picnic before beginning our Fall Semester (Sept. – Dec.). Graduation occurs once a year in May (if applicable). We celebrate Jr. High and High School graduates.
- YEARBOOKS : A volunteer family collects photos throughout the school year from other co-op moms. This is a wonderful keepsake if anyone is interested in making them.
- Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA): C.H.A.N.G.E. has a group account with HSLDA, which allows you a $15.00 discount when you join or renew your membership. HSLDA is an organization, which gives member families any necessary free legal help in relation to homeschooling.
