- Time 4 Learning Honest Review / Is Time 4 Learning Enough for Homeschooling? / Time for Learning
Welcome to Everyday Blessings. My name is Nina, I’m a homeschooling mom with five kids at home and six kids total. Here on my channel, I talk about all things homeschool from tots to teens in real life because God didn’t make me Pinterest perfect, I don’t even pretend to be.
Let me tell you all about Time 4 Learning and why we LOVE IT!

We have been using Time 4 Learning for three years now and we absolutely love it. Things were not as hectic when I was only homeschooling two kiddos. Now that I am homeschooling 5 I needed a little help. I'm only one mom. I'm outnumbered as it is. Multiple kids in multiple subjects at multiple levels....I needed reinforcements!
Time 4 Learning helped me to streamline and manage my homeschool days. My children are getting the material appropriate for their level individually through Time 4 Learning and I am able to still teach our family subjects and unit studies.

Alright guys, that’s it for me today. But please before I go, let me know in the comments section, what is your biggest homeschool hurdle right now? What is the area that you are struggling the most in? I’d love to find resources to help!
Not everyday is easy, but everyday is a blessing!
Have a blessed day!

What an encouragement! An honest, relatable review. Thank you. 🌻
You are so welcome!
Im so glad i came across this video and read the comments. I have an 8th grader with adhd that struggles in school with being distracted by other kids, the classes moving to fast for him, and sometimes feeling overwhelmed.. and the bullying he deals with has really pyshed me over the edge. I have been looking for something like this because i dont like how other homeschools do their stuff.
My heart breaks for him! I think you guys will love the change of pace time4learning will offer.
Thank you so very much for such an encouraging video. As a new Christian homeschooling mom, I definitely have had the mom guilt of these are my children that the Lord blessed me with so I should be able to teach them. However, I am overwhelmed so I am looking to supplement with a curriculum. I am going to check out Time 4 Learning in the New Year. Thank you and may the Lord bless you and your family. :)
My pleasure!! It’s stressful and overwhelming at times but worth it. Taking mental health days is still school!! Take them!
Wow! Loved hearing this. I struggle with not wanting a computer to take over, but I love how it was a blessing in the end. I also understand feeling unseen. I was one of 8 kids, and it’s very true my mom didn’t have time for one on one time for us. Super important! Great points :)
It’s so important to sit and talk to each child everyday.
So helpful and timely, thank you! I’ve been struggling with health issues and need something like this. You have given me so much hope!
Don’t give up hope! I’m sorry you’re struggling! 💕
Thank you so much for your very honest review. So many of us struggle with this as we feel we all need to be sitting family style with EVERY subject. We have done it this way for a long time and it is just not the best fit anymore for my upper elementary learners. I am the same, I want us to sit and enjoy the time, not feel pressure to get it done!!
The pressure can feel intense. When I start to feel that overwhelming feeling, that’s when I know I’m not focused on the right thing. Time with family is the best!
Thank you for your Honest review
Always!
Thank you for your review. I feel the SAME WAY using Time 4 Learning. We started home schooling in 2020, moved and then went back into public school 2021. I recently pulled my daughter back out of public school and Time 4 Learning was the only option I even considered. Well intentioned friends and family made other suggestions but I just love the curriculum, it covers everything they need to learn while still allowing us plenty of time to do the things that we want to do with all of our extra free time.
100%! Yes!!
Did you any pushback on school not accepting T4L to get her back in public schools?
@@artsoto5459I didn't have an issue when I enrolled my daughter in a new district in 3rd grade. When I withdrew her in the 5th grade, they said she would have to test to get back in. I am not sure that is true because it was an off-hand comment as I was withdrawing her. I guess it depends on the school but I don't think there would be a problem getting her back into public school.
I needed this today.
Everyone has hard days! ❤️
1. Thank you so so so much for maybe the most honest down to earth video I have watched in a long while. 2. You published this 10 months ago. May I ask if you still feel the same way? I have 5 children (6 in total) as well, and I am considering the price, but I am willing to pay for what my children would benefit from.
Absolutely! We still use time for learning and love it!
Thank you, please advise what gadgets/ computer or tablet are you using?

Thank you for the honest review. Not a new homeschool mom. But both kids are currently in public school. One kiddo thrives in public while the other struggles due to health conditions… seriously thinking about pulling the one back out and homeschooling again. T4L I looked at a lot before deciding to put them back in public. I believe T4L would be a good fit for the one kiddo. Glad to know it has Christian undertones and talks about God. Do you supplement with T4L? Or T4L only? Thank you so much!
Actually time 4 learning is not a Christian program. The one thing I do supplement is a Bible study.
I needed to hear this. ❤
I’m glad it helped!
Great video! So we are temporarily moving overseas for a few months to a year, quick question, if my daughter completes 2nd grade at T4L, can she go to 3rd grade in the states? Would the public school system accept this as a second grade completion? Thanks
Technically t4l is not accredited. However, when you’re ready to re-enroll they will most likely do a placement exam and enroll her into 3rd grade.
Do you mind doing a video on how you record a transcript with time 4 learning? We love T4L as well, but I am so nervous about keeping record and missing something they will need. Do you follow state standards, or are you following college requirements?
This is a great topic that needs attention. I’d love to do a video on it.
We use Time4Learning’s Language Arts courses for our autistic 8 year old! I find it to be very adaptable for my child who is mostly nonverbal, but has a very good receptive language skills and reading comprehension! We love it!
That’s awesome! I have had a very similar experience with it.
Hello, I’m just wondering what the program is like for learning to read? I wasn’t taught reading by phonics so needing a program that does the teaching for me. How to teach blending etc. my son knows his abc and sounds of letters but struggled to learn them.
The book- “100 lesson to teach your child to read”, helped me teach my son to read. Shit It taught me phonics!- i didn’t learn tht growing up…
Does time for learning do a good job teaching to read
Eh. I would use the book named above! I Had my son reading before we started T4L for the 1st grade with that book. T4L has its phonic lessons under the ELA extension. But I don’t it was solid enough to have them reading within a few months. The lessons on T4L for reading are loose.
I need a platform that allows me to create when needed our own classwork, projects, quizzes, and tests. I also need to be able to print out detailed end-of-year reports. Can Time 4 Learning do this?
The reporting is a huge part of why we love time for learning. I can print out grades, attendance, and keep track of progress. You can’t create your own quizzes but you can set a minimum score to pass. I have my children set at at least 80% to pass a quiz or test.
Did you ever use Brightspire through time 4 learning? Or just time 4 learning? I’m looking into the accredited version.
I haven’t used bright spire but if they’re part of time for learning I would assume it’s worth a try.
Ok this video is a little creepy. I feel like you are in my head. We are suppose to start t4l next year. Thanks for the video!
lol!! Thank you? You’ve got this!
Is it a real school? If so, what’s the process to get started? I have 8th grader that needs a new school
It is not accredited. To enroll is very easy. There’s a link in the description box you can use and sign up.
Any experience with their high school levels?
My jr. In highschool uses it. Some of the lessons he says are “boring” but I think it’s a well rounded program.
does time for learning has live teacher?
No. They are pre recorded videos.
Does time for learning give grades?
It keeps track of percentages. 😊
Is Time4 Learning a Christian program?
they've never said that they're Christian themselves but many lessons do talk about god and have religious undertones
