Julia Godines cofounder and instructor
Hello fellow homeschooling families! My name is Julia. I am co-founder of The Irving Park Homeschool Group and mom of two children age 7 and 9. I have a degree in Elementary Education, established and ran my home daycare for the last eight years, and ventured into homeschooling fall 2020. My children and I spend our days learning and playing together, using our kitchen table for schoolwork and the outdoors as our classroom.
The Irving Park Homeschool Group was created in 2021. Our weekly meet-ups provided community and connection for many homeschooling families in the area. My co-founder Justin Nordin and I are eager and excited to expand IPHG offerings to include academic enrichment opportunities; enabling families to extend learning beyond their homes, and encouraging parent educators to teach children beyond their own. We look forward to providing community and academic enrichment for many years to come.
