Hi I'm Penny and these are a few of our adventures as we homeschool in our little corner of Western Australia. This is a place where I share some ideas and thoughts about our homeschooling journey.

Welcome to 4 Little Learners

I'm passionate about providing fun, nature-based and hands on learning environments for my 4 little learners. I hope you will be encouraged by our family's adventures and join us in this journey of raising up the next generation.
