Welcome to Sage Family Learning!
Hi World!
My name is Meg Sage. I was born and raised here in Tucson, Arizona and am a proud Univeristy of Arizona Alumna. As a homeschooling Mom of two amazingly creative and brilliant kiddos, I am dedicated to creating a nurturing environment for learning to blossom. I adore being a teacher and sharing the joys of learning new things. I've formed Sage Family Learning as a way to expand our homeschool group to show more children in our community how much fun it is to learn together. We would love to have your family join ours for fun, hands-on learning activities with our group of awesome home educated kiddos!
