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!

  • 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.

joinPreschool

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    I really like being able to check my states current events on what’s going on with homeschooling and the law.

    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.
