You can start by calling your local school and asking about homeschooling. You can also call the chamber of commerce in your city, they might have a list of home school associations or groups. http://homeschooling.about.com/od/mosg/Support_Groups_Associations_Missouri.htm I highly recommend these sites. http://www.fhe-mo.org/ - Regional Missouri http://www.chef-missouri.com/ - St. Louis http://www.match-inc.org/ - West Plains, Mo. http://www.ofche.net/ this is in O'Fallon These sites should steer you in the right direction. any questions email me stacy.stlmoms@gmail.com

The thing you have to be careful about in 'group homeschooling' is that someone who opts to homeschool children besides their own CANNOT accept payment for doing so. Accepting payment is tantamount to opening an academy of your own, which makes you beholden to various laws and such that don't apply if you're homeschooling your own kids. I don't know the particulars, sadly; I'm parroting back cautions that were given to me, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Do good research before launching into a group homeschooling situation, lest someone end up in trouble. :/

Don't bother calling your school district they know next to nothing about homeschooling law and tend to misrepresent what little they do know. Better to check HSLDA about ANY homeschool regulations. School Districts tend to impose or try to impose a number of regs that are not legal. Homeschool co-ops are common, and since the states generally cannot dictate WHEN you homeschool, you can certainly pay for childcare and tutoring during the day. Look for your local homeschool groups. Just google homeschool groups. Best of luck!
