meet our co-op leads Suzette Loy Hi my name is Suzette and I'm a mom to my 4 incredible children. I have a 25 yr old UCSD graduate, a 22 year old in the Airforce, an 11 yr old and 8 yr old. My oldest 2 were in the public school system. I never considered homeschool as an option until SB277 passed. It was scary, especially since this wasn't part of my plan. I shut my business down to homeschool & I've been homeschooling now since 2020 without looking back! Having older kids, I understand how incredibly fast their childhood goes by. I've been able to embrace each moment and create amazing memories. My goal is to make sure my kids don't feel left out by not being allowed to go to public school. My mission is to make homeschooling an amazing experience and connect with all of you amazing families! I'm genuinely excited to work with all of you guys to make this the best experience for our children. Monet Holschlag I'm Monet. I've been homeschooling since 2012. I feel it's my responsibility to educate my kids, not the state's! I have 2 boys, Rhees (2011) and Terje (2007). Rhees is a master at Minecraft and enjoys playing soccer and chess. Terje is a mechanic and fabricator and likes all things off-road. I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, yoga, reading, and all things fringe. We have been in Vista about 9 years. Looking forward to being in community with you. CONTACT A CO-OP LEAD SUBMIT YOUR INFO TO JOIN THIS CO-OP!
