ABOUT THE PEACEFUL PRESS
“The question is not, — how much does the youth know? when he has finished his education — but how much does he care? and about how many orders of things does he care? In fact, how large is the room in which he finds his feet set? and, therefore, how full is the life he has before him?”
Charlotte Mason
Our mission at The Peaceful Press is to provide resources that promote connection through curriculum.
We believe that the childhood years are worth savoring and that education should be tailored to our children.
We believe in a developmentally appropriate education that highlights the importance of motor skills development in the early years and a feast of literature and experiences as they grow.
We believe in a living education, with time available for reading aloud, creating, spending time in nature, and experiencing the world.
We facilitate a living education through our thoughtful parent guides that include clear directions for busy families while allowing space to pursue interest-led learning.
Our learning guides highlight beautiful literature, promote meaningful conversations, and engage children in creative projects and play.
About Jennifer
Jennifer Pepito has seven children and has been homeschooling for twenty-five years. She has graduated five children from her program, with two students earning honors degrees from their preferred university and one pursuing a Juris Doctorate. When she discovered that her second daughter had learning disabilities, Jennifer became an avid student of child development, learning from innovators and researchers such as Carol Stock Kranowitz, Gordon Neufeld, John Taylor Gatto, Jane Healy, Maria Montessori, Kim John Payne, and Charlotte Mason. The Peaceful Press resources were born out of these years of research.
Jennifer has a passion for equipping families to homeschool in a way that is developmentally appropriate, spiritually nourishing, and based on proven methods of education. She doesn’t want you just to homeschool. She wants to help you enjoy the homeschooling journey and learn with your children in ways that build connected families. Her book, Mothering by the Book can help you overcome the fears that steal that joy so you can savor motherhood.
Jennifer is a Simplicity Parenting Coach and a Certified Life Coach. She continually researches education and child development to ensure that Peaceful Press families are getting the best resources based on current research about learning while continuing to integrate the time-honored educational philosophy put forward by Charlotte Mason and Maria Montessori.
She’s regularly contributed to the Wild and Free homeschool community and has been published in several online journals and print articles.
You can listen to her ideas for transforming home and culture on the Restoration Home podcast or on The Mason Jar podcast, The Read Aloud Revival podcast, and The Homeschool Snapshots podcast.
