They would also have the opportunity to see other parts of the country in the summers; which a lot of kids don't get to do. Good luck! I would love to do travel nursing, but my husband is a homebody. Just going during the summer may be something he would be open to as well. We shall see!
I travel with my just turned 5y/o. My husband and I decided that he would stay at home and be a home educator. So far it has worked out great! She is very advanced due to the one on one tutor. We frequent play grounds, swimming pools, beaches, where ever we go. If anything it has increased her social skills. She makes friends easily, everywhere we go. And she loves the travel! There is also an online private school, "lauralhills.com". You follow their curriculum which is a little more time structrured, but they graduate with a diploma. They do not take the GED like home schooled children. We have chosen home schooling for now. She is only 5 and we want more flexibility with our schedule. We may start the private school in a few years. Going to Australia for one year assignment first. Hope this helps.
