The Heart of SimpleStart Homeschooling

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here!

My name is Christina O’Rourke. I am an educator, mom, and the creator of Simple Start Homeschool. I built this space for families like yours — who want to support their child’s learning at home with confidence, clarity, and calm.

Whether you're new to homeschooling or simply want extra support, I’m here to help you take the guesswork out of teaching. With five years of experience in the classroom and a passion for making learning feel doable, I’ve designed resources that are clear, simple, and meaningful — just like home education should be.

At Simple Start Homeschool, you’ll find:

  • Printable lesson plans and routines designed for real-life

  • Easy-to-understand tools for teaching key skills

  • Encouragement and guidance that meets you where you are

I believe homeschooling doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It can be joyful, consistent, and totally manageable — especially when you have the right support.

If you’re ready to simplify your homeschool and feel more confident each day, I invite you to start with my Free Starter Kit or just explore what feels helpful right now.

You’ve got this. And I’ve got your back.

Warmly,
Christina O’Rourke
Founder, Simple Start Homeschool
