If you’re a mother of young children, you may feel the pull toward homeschooling, paired with a quiet (or not-so-quiet) uncertainty.

• Where do I start?

• Am I doing enough?

• What matters most right now?

• How do I build something sustainable—not just for this year, but for the years ahead?

Homeschool coaching with Celeste Smith is designed to meet you right where you are, offering clarity, reassurance, and a steady path forward.

Walk This Path with Someone Who’s Been There

Celeste Smith brings years of lived experience to her coaching. She has homeschooled her own children for many years and in multiple states, participated in a variety of homeschool communities, and worked with families following many different educational philosophies.

Because there is no one-size-fits-all approach to homeschooling.

Celeste understands:

• Classical, Charlotte Mason, interest-led, and principle-based approaches

• The unique needs of first-time homeschool parents

• The importance of foundations before curriculum

• Christian perspectives of homeschooling

• How family dynamics, rhythms, and mindset shape long-term success

Her role is not to tell you what to do—but to help you discern what will work best for your family.

MEET YOUR GUIDE

Foundations First. Confidence Always.

Most new homeschool parents rush to find the “right” curriculum. Or they get overwhelmed with all the details.

Celeste helps you slow down and build what truly matters:

• A clear homeschool vision and philosophy

• Strong family relationships and rhythms

• Confidence in your role as a homeschooling parent

• Peace around what is developmentally appropriate for young children

Built on the principles from her book, Lighting Their Way: A Guide for First-Time Homeschoolers, she supports families in making incremental changes, little by little, to help parents have the right mindset, systems, and foundations for a truly successful homeschooling experience.

When these foundations are in place, homeschooling becomes lighter, clearer, and far less overwhelming.

WHAT MAKES THIS COACHING DIFFERENT

Designed for Busy Mothers.

Homeschool coaching with Celeste follows the principles of her book, Lighting Their Way: A Guide for First-Time Homeschoolers, but goes even deeper, helping you apply the principles and ideas to your own unique circumstances.

• 12 weeks of individualized or group coaching

• A free eBook version of her book (print copies available on Amazon)

• Membership in an exclusive Band group for all coaching alumni to stay in contact with Celeste and receive continued support.

Homeschool coaching is offered virtually to anyone around the world. Asynchronous conversations through Marco Polo is preferred and ideal for mothers caring for young children.

This means:

• You can share questions or reflections when it works for you

• You receive thoughtful, personalized responses from Celeste

• No pressure to be “on” at a specific time

Zoom sessions are also available when real-time conversation is preferred or helpful.
