Who We Are

My name is Michelle and  I'm excited to welcome you to this virtual cupboard of ideas and resources!
 

Vision

Hubbard's Cupboard is an educational website that began in 2000 while I was still teaching Kindergarten.  My goal was to share ideas and printables with other early childhood educators and parents.  Gradually, over the years, after I resigned from public school teaching and became a stay at home mom, I continued to add resources to the site as we engaged in more and more activities as a family and created learning experiences for our own children.

I pray that you'll find ideas and printables inside Hubbard's Cupboard that will assist and encourage you in your role as a mom, teacher, child care provider, or home educator. May these free resources be a blessing to you as you travel on your own joyful journey into learning with your children!

Our Family

We are a Christian missionary family who trusts in Christ alone for our salvation, highly values the inherent Word of God, and desires to see others come to know and love Jesus as their Lord and Savior as well.

We have five children, ranging in ages from 16 through 24 years of age, and homeschooled them from the beginning. Our oldest four have now graduated from our homeschool and are pursing new adventures - whether in college, taking a gap year, starting careers after college, and/or married life and beginning their own families! I am currently home educating our youngest son and our days look MUCH different than when we had all five young children at home. Each are sweet gifts from God and I have felt privileged to have the opportunity to be with them, train them, enjoy them, and learn alongside them each day. I won’t say that it came without costs or challenges, but I will never regret our decision to homeschool!  

I am married to a wonderfully supportive, patient, encouraging, God fearing man (who also willingly serves as our technical support at the site).   I am thankful to have been walking by his side for over 30 years.  

If you wish, you can share in my joys of motherhood, schooling, and missions at my blog - Joy to the Heart.

Thank you!

Thanks to all of you who have visited Hubbard's Cupboard and have passed along the link to others.   I also want to thank everyone who has thoughtfully sent emails about the site.  Your encouraging words, thoughts, and sharing of how you've used ideas from Hubbard's Cupboard for your own class and children have been greatly appreciated!   It makes me smile as I read each one.  Thanks!

Praise Him!

If you find ideas and information that is useful for you and your children, please give all the praise, glory, and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank Him for the time, resources, and desire for making this website possible.
