Today we have a very special visitor! Vicki Bentley of HSLDA The Early Years and Everyday Homemaking is here to share about the absolutely free HSLDA membership available for parents of preschoolers. Plus, she is also giving away one regular membership to a homeschool family, five copies of her cookbook and five copies of the latest Veggie Tales DVD. (We have her cookbook and I know you will love it as much as we do!)
Here is Vicki to explain about the benefits of Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) membership for preschool 
families:
FREE HSLDA Membership for Preschool Families
Home School Legal Defense Association invites you to take advantage of our free membership for qualifying parents of preschoolers. If your oldest child is not yet age five, we offer you a full membership, with the same benefits as a paid membership!
- While your children will generally not yet be compulsory attendance age, parents of preschoolers will still have access to our legal staff, who can help you understand your state’s requirements, such as notification, visits, proof of progress, and so forth.
- You will have access to our Court Report magazine, in digital format online (with a preschool supplement!) or in hard copy by mail. Preschool parents can also take advantage of our PerX program and other discounts.
- But a major practical benefit is the personal access to our toddlers to tweens and special needs education consultants, for help with preschool suggestions, getting started, learning styles, curriculum options, and lots more!
- We’re really excited to offer our experience and assistance to parents of preschoolers as you explore your options. We hope you will consider home education as just one aspect of your home discipleship. The place to begin is www.hslda.org/preschool.
And for all the details on preschool membership, just click over to About HSLDA’s Membership for Parents of Preschoolers.
Now for the giveaway!
- One regular HSLDA membership for one year for a family with school age children ($115 value). See what your benefits are with HSLDA membership.
- Five (5) copies of Vicki Bentley’s Everyday Cooking cookbook (a $17.99 value). “to help busy moms get dinner on the table while they are working with those preschoolers!” (read my full review of Everyday Cooking here).
- Five (5 ) copies of Veggie Tales’ The Little House that Stood DVD (a $14.99 value). “A lesson in making good choices.”
A big thank you to Vicki Bentley and HSLDA for all they do to bless homeschool families!

We LOVE HSLDA. We have been members for a very long time. We have used them several times to help out with some legal issues and I am so very thankful for them.
It is always the first place I send folks who are new to homeschooling. I have them look up the laws for their state.
My husband is out of work and anything free is so useful.
Our family has been heavily considering joining HSLDA just for the peace of mind I’m told by some of my friends that it offers
We homeschool our 4 children. With the recent events concerning the German family, I think every family should have a membership. Thanks for this amazing giveaway
I visited the HSLDA website. I especially liked Vicki’s section with the chart of topics to click on. Very helpful and easy to navigate.
I like the news upudates and the helpful topics on homeschooling in the elementary years.
I had no idea! Love HSLDA! Thanks so much for the info & the chance to win great prizes! 🙂
We will be embarking on our first homeschool journey in August so this would be so helpful! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the section about high school. Very helpful to those going through the high school years.
I really love the quicklinks that provide easy access to anything from laws to support. It is really easy to navigate and find what you need! I plan on looking around some more.
HSLDA has been on our minds for a while. With what you have been doing for the Romeike family you have helped us make up our mind. We thankyou for standing up for them and are budgeting for a membership.
Thank u for helping preschool families learn about your wonderful company 🙂 so excited to have these resources for our little one 🙂
I really appreciate having access to the most up to date news relating to legislation and cases in progress.
Interested in homeschooling as an option….
I love their section on each state’s homeschooling requirements. I have my state’s printed off in my planning binder.
I love the area where they give information for my state.
My favorite part of the HSLDA site is the ease at which you can find state laws on homeschooling. I can easily look at any state and help my friends out to help find laws as needed.
Thank you! I had no idea I could get a free membership for the preschool years. We plan on joining once my son turns 5 later this year.
My favorite feature on the HSLDA site is the ability to quickly see my state’s requirements.
I’ve always enjoyed their quick-to-find state laws chart. I’ve helped many moms find out about their state laws that way.
My favorite part of HSLDA website is the membership resources. I have a special needs homeschooler and it is HSLDA “struggling learners consults” that helps me to homeschool. Without my consultant I would be lost and probably not homeschooling.
I like that it has my state’s requirements and info at the click of a link.
Appreciate the work they have put into state requirements info for us parents, the tirelessness of pursuing homeschool freedoms for us, and how they keep us updated on all that is going on. Thank you for a great give away.
My daughter’s 3rd birthday is Wednesday and we have been discussing the option of beginning homeschool for her. This is an awesome resource to have available.
I love the ease of finding information on state laws.
What a wonderful giveaway. I love the state law links as well. Veggie tales are some of our favorite movies.
Thanks for a great giveaway!
i’ve wanted to join hslda for a while now, but can’t afford the membership. i have friends that are members and they just love the peace of mind!
when i was first researching homeschooling, i checked there for our state laws. it’s a very helpful site and i’d love to be able to become a member! 🙂
Becky, HSLDA does offer a payment plan, if that would be helpful. Also, please check out the Members Helping Members fund through the Home School Foundation, the charitable arm of HSLDA.
I’ve been going-to-sign-up for HSLDA years now and still haven’t. Maybe this is the push I need!
I like being able to see the legislation affecting my state.
Wish I knew this info before my oldest was five.
We have not yet joined HSLDA but love the individual state sections.
I am beginning to see the great benefits of an HSLDA membership but can’t afford it right now. I would be so blessed to receive a free year 🙂
I love that HSLDA has information on my state – very personalized!
So thankful for HSLDA!
I love it all but I’d have to say the info on the early years!
Thanks!
I would love to join, am deciding whether its worth it this next year or not.
I would love to win this.
Wow, what a great giveaway! Our little ones are 2 and 5, so we are planning to join HSLDA this summer. I subscribed to the blog and look forward to reading more!
My fav part is the the one stop individualized state info but even beyond are the news updates that are taking place around the world and here at home. It keeps my eyes open and my mind alert to the struggles and privileges and opportunity to reach out and make a difference.
I think the best thing about the HSLDA website is the state by state law information.
I think the FAQ is really good. Easy to navigate and it is nice that they include everything from questions about the law to how to start homeschooling.
I like that it gives info on my state, plus news that is happening now…
Love HSLDA. We have been members in the past with our older children and are now embarking on a new journey homeschooling our two youngest (age 3 and 10 months).
I hit submit before I was done – sidetracked by that darling little preschooler!
My favorite feature of HSLDA has been the Homeschooling High School newsletter and area. They always had good information and recommendations. I am looking forward to checking out the preschool area as soon as the little “sticks” in bed!!
My family is planning to join HSLDA this year. I want the peace of mind they offer and guidance in knowing the laws/regulations, etc. The VeggieTales video looks very cute, too! Thanks for offering this giveaway!
I like the homeschool student contest webpage for art, essays, videos, photos, and poetry.
I LOVE their special needs resources! I have used them a TON over the years! 🙂
I love the amount of information and resources it offers, even for non members. When you’re starting out, like we are, it is overwhelming and it is nice to know that you can go here for assistance.
the homeshool toddlers to tweens area… wow.. what a great resource.
I Love the state law summaries that HSLDA has compiled and updated over the years. It’s helped up immensely over the years. It even helped us as we were deciding which Bible College to attend (ie, which state to move/not move to, give the choices we had)
I love HSLDA. I feel as if they have a true heart for homeschoolers. I’m also very grateful that legal counsel and backing (in regards to homeschool) is really a phone call away.
We love all that HSLDA stands for. I love getting up-to-date updates from their website and on facebook.
I think what these folks are doing is wonderful. They are helping families with their choices as a family. They will help you get started with homeschooling and keep you up to date on any new laws
I love how these folks are truly help families with all their homeschool matters, getting started, legal counsel, and law changes
I’ve been wanting to join but the budget is tight right now! This would be amazing! What an awesome organization!
I love it that HSLDA offers help for those of us homeschooling our special needs children (1 of my 6 has Down syndrome) – so grateful!
What a fabulous giveaway. HSLDA certainly does a lot of wonderful things.
Thank you!
Whoops, hit enter too soon. I like how HSLDA breaks down the state laws in an easy to read format. It makes it a wonderful source when people are moving, or are new to homeschooling. We recently considered moving & within 1 or 2 clicks I had all the information I needed for those states!
I like that I can go right to my state and find information. I don’t have to wade through info that does not pertain laws specific to our state and since we are in a state with stricter laws, it’s very useful
I would love a membership. I have a soon to be second grader as well as a preschooler
I love the current events articles offered at HSLDA’s website. It is nice to know what is going on in the homeschooling world.
I like that you can find the law for any state
I love that HSLDA has SO much support! There is legal support, considerations for AFTER graduation or when needing driver’s licenses, and ways to contact other local homeschool groups. I didn’t realize there was so much support there.
Our oldest turns 5 in September and I was just thinking I needed to join. I did not know about the free preschool option – Thanks for the heads up!
Thank you for looking out for homeschoolers. I love that you have the knowledge and hearts to help families.
I really appreciate the work HSLDA does; it’s very interesting reading about the many fronts that they face and hearing the state current news affecting homeschoolers.
I like that the laws are easily found!
I love HSLDA! I love their laws by state map. Being military and moving around, this is valuable to know.
State regulations
This is actually my first time looking at HSLDA’s site and it is AMAZING! I was especially interested in all the helps there were for different ages of children.
I like the state updates. I need to know what is happening in my own state first.
What a fantastic giveaway!
HSLDA has been wonderful for me with moving from state to state. I haven’t joined but I have still leaned a lot about state laws before I move. I would love a membership and see what’s on the other side.
We are new to homeschooling so it is nice the know that the HSLDA is there with so many resources.
What a wonderful giveaway. It would be nice to have a membership with HSLDA! Thank you for the opportunity!!
I like the FAQ’s page on HSLDA’s website
I love the email updates and newsletters from HSLDA. I’m also looking forward to their help as we start officialing homeschooling our special needs son this coming year.
I have thought about joining HSLDA but haven’t yet. I home school a 3rd,4th and a 6th grader.
My favorite part of the site is the one I refer readers to a lot…the state laws. It is such an easy way to find the local laws concerning homeschooling!
We’ve really been wanting to join, but have been financially unable to do so. This would be awesome to win 🙂
Amber, HSLDA does offer a payment plan, if that would be helpful. Also, please check out the Members Helping Members fund through the Home School Foundation, the charitable arm of HSLDA.
My favorite part is the state section, where you can read what is going on in your state and any alerts of things you need to be made of aware of.
LOVE HSLDA!! They’ve always been so pleasant to talk with over the phone and prompt with all information! Thanks you!!
I love that all the state requirements are accessible there!
I’ve been homeschooling my oldest daughter for a year (even though she’s not “officially” Kindergarten age until this coming Fall), so I’ve been checking out HSLDA website every so often for latest news regarding homeschooling. I’ve found the website to be full of helpful information.
I really appreciate being able to find stuff specifically related to my state on the HSLDA site! They are a wonderful organization!!
Love their website! Has a lot of valuable information! Especially like to keep up to date with what’s going on in my state.
I find the Homeschooling through High School section very helpful.
the ease of use and the support!
Ive been looking into getting a membership thanks for the giveaway
Love the ease of having legal experts on your side.
Thanks for the update! I never knew preschool parents could join HSLDA for free. What a blessing! And a marvelous giveaway as well.
I LOVE THE HSLDA WEBSITE AND ITS EASE OF USE! MY FAVORITE PART IS THAT YOU CAN EASILY ACCESS THE HOMESCHOOLING LAWS FOR EACH STATE. WE ARE NEW TO HOMESCHOOLING (PRESCHOOL) AND WE MOVE WITH MY HUSBAND’S JOB, SO IT’S GREAT TO HAVE EACH STATE’S LAWS AT HAND!
I appreciate having the laws of homeschooling for each state. When we were in transition from one state to another, hslda was very quick to answer my question on under which states laws we would need to follow.
This is a great giveaway. I have a preschooler and just starting out homeschooling. This would be so helpful. I am so thankful there is an organization like this.
I love the legal help. I signed the petition for the Romeike (spelling?) family and love hearing what else they are doing at home and abroad for homeschooling. I’d love to join but things are very tight so I just follow and sign when needed.
This is a great giveaway. I am new to homeschooling and have heard great things about HSLDA.
The 50 states map and the brief overview of laws for them all
I really like being able to check my states current events on what’s going on with homeschooling and the law.
would love to win!
I love all the resources that HSLDA offers on their site. Being a first time homeschooler it has been a blessing to find answers to my questions! 🙂
I love that they provided answers I was searching for reguarding homeschoolers and college (financial aid, transcripts, etc)
I love that you can go check what the laws and legislation is for your state. We are considering a move to another State and its nice to know what to expect.
love that HSLDA has homeschoolers protected! They always have great info on the site and its very easy to navigate to topics relevent to your state.
