We, Kelda and Carla, announce the closing of the Home School Cottage Broussard. It has been our honor and privilege to serve our homeschool community these past five years. What started as a labor of love has fed our passion and grown our homeschooling community and relationships with new-found friends and those of whom we've grown to love as family.

Although we have never profited financially from this business, The Cottage has been able to cover all of its expenses. Due to circumstances beyond our control, our sales have been steadily decreasing for the past six months. With the increased numbers of families choosing online, cooperative schooling and the opening of Mardel's, we are unable to compete in the current market.

Amid the time challenges of parenting and schooling our children, we have appreciated everyone's support and encouragement. During Carla's cancer diagnosis and chemo and radiation, we personally received the strength and love from this community.

We will maintain the website and post updates for the community and links to groups and activity information. Kelda will continue to host classes and workshops, standardized testing, curriculum counseling, consultations, and tutoring will also continue to be available. Homeschooling 101 workshops will also be offered regularly.

January 24th-February 2nd: 50% off all consignments; 75% off all new toys and art supplies; 25% off all new inventory. Come in and stock up at unbelievable prices!

February 6th-9th, All remaining inventory will be sorted by vendor for pickup.

February 14th-16th and 21st-23rd, Remaining items will be placed in FREE area. The property is being sold, so we need to be completely out of the space by the end of February.

March: Accounts will be settled and checks to consignors mailed.

Thank you,
Kelda and Carla
