There are so many support groups for Long Island, Suffolk County, Nassau County, Queens, Brooklyn and NYC.
Long Island is a very unique place to homeschool. It is geographically self contained.
We believe that the best thing for a new homeschool family or a familly thinking of whether or not homeschooling is right for them, is to join a well established support group.
These are the main groups that have been established and are many years old. They have been serving Long Island Homeschooling Community for more than 10 years. In some cases 20 years.
They are all good reputable groups that have been established by veteran homeschoolers and know the rules and regulations for Homeschooling on Long Island.
Then if you feel like expanding, and seeing what the new groups have to offer you have the support and knowledge of the veterans under your belt to decide if that new group is a good fit for your family.
There are many splinter groups out there that recently started popping up all over.
