Local homeschool co-ops, classes and field trips, and the people who run them

For the parent looking for a co-op. And the one running it.

Find what's actually on near you and sign up in a tap. Or list what you run and stop being the one everyone texts. Most of the people running these are homeschool parents too.

Free for families, always. You pay the price on the page and never a separate booking fee. Free to list. Free to run. You only pay when you get paid. See pricing

Parents and leaders

Everything a parent does here lands on a leader's roster. Everything a leader sets up shows on a parent's map.

Five moments where both of you feel the difference. Each links to its own page.

The first week of the semester

Parents type it once. Leaders never type it at all.

For families

  • Add your kids once. Every sign-up after that is a tap, not a form.
  • Who can collect them is on the record, so pickup is a name, not a guess.
  • A group sees it while your family is a member or your child holds a booking with them. Cancel or refund the booking and it closes.
How it works for parents →

For leaders

  • Ages, allergies and pick-ups arrive with the registration, already structured.
  • Your event manager sees the allergy list at the door. Not your books.
  • No paper packet. Nothing retyped.

When the semester fee is due

Families pay the price on the page. Leaders stop chasing the rest.

For leaders

  • Card checkout on your own Stripe account, not a personal Venmo. Stripe verifies your identity; Famlo never sees it.
  • Your billing manager sees who's paid, without asking anyone.
  • Free to list, free to run. Famlo's fee comes out of card payments you collect, and nothing else.
What you keep →

For families

  • The price on the page is the price. Nothing is added at checkout.
  • Pay by card, or with Step Up and ESA funds where a group takes them.
  • Stripe emails a receipt for every card payment.

New to the area, or want to discover something new

Parents find what's near them this week. Leaders get found when they choose to be.

For families

  • A map of what's actually on near you, not a group to request.
  • Distance, days and price up front, before you drive an hour.
  • Filter for free, in person or online, and whether they take Step Up or ESA.
Finding your people →

For leaders

  • Set yourself Hidden when you're full: the map stops showing you and your link keeps working. Nobody is asking you to grow.
  • If we already list you, claim it. Once we verify, it's yours.
  • Keep your Facebook group for recruiting. The listing is the part newcomers can find.

Thursday, 9:40pm: "Is co-op on this week?"

Parents open it from a text. Leaders stop answering the same question.

For leaders

  • Where you meet, what's on and who's teaching, on one link that needs no account.
  • Cancel a class once. Everyone registered gets the email, and a refund where it applies.
  • Questions at pickup and texts on weekends stop, because the answer is already there.
Stop being on call →

For families

  • Open it from a text. No app, no login, nothing to download.
  • Add any class to your calendar in a tap. Registered families get a reminder the day before.
  • If the room changes, the page is already right. If a class is cancelled, you're emailed.

"Count us in" was a headcount of 32

Parents hear the moment a seat opens. Leaders count registrations, not head counts.

For families

  • Save a full class and hear the moment a seat opens.
  • No missing the sign-up you never heard about.
  • First to register takes it. No favours, no line to stand in.
Saving and alerts →

For leaders

  • Capacity per class. Registrations, not head counts.
  • Full means closed. There is no list to manage and no held place to argue about.
  • When a seat frees up, every family who saved it hears at once. First to register takes it.

How it works

From a parent's tap to a leader's roster.

For families

  1. 1

    Find what's near you

    Co-ops, classes, park days and places, on a map of your city.

  2. 2

    Add your family once

    Ages, allergies and who may collect them, entered one time.

  3. 3

    Sign up

    Free events are a tap. Paid ones take a card you can save, or Step Up and ESA where accepted.

  4. 4

    Keep the week in one place

    Your calendar, reminders and receipts.

For leaders

  1. 1

    List your organization

    Or claim the listing we already have.

  2. 2

    Set the schedule

    Classes and events with capacity, pricing and recurring series.

  3. 3

    Collect, or don't

    Card checkout on your own Stripe account, or leave payments where they are.

  4. 4

    Run the week from one place

    Roster, attendance, announcements and the ledger.
