Hello all...I am thrilled to begin Heart of Dakota next week with my 2nd grade boy with Beyond Little Hearts for His Glory. I prayed over a Charlotte Mason based approach, unit study program that would be simple for me to use and that my child would be enthusiastic about and I truly believe that this curriculum is just what my family needs. As I reviewed and researched the program, I never found anywhere that mentions where "Heart of Dakota" got its name. "What does it mean?"...many people have asked me and I tell them that I do not know yet, but will find out! Looking forward to becoming part of the Heart of Dakota family.

Carrie and her family live in South Dakota. I assume it comes from that.

Here is Carrie's explanation. Scroll down a bit.

I am new to HOD too and plan to start with it this fall with my kids - I asked this same question about why it is called Heart of Dakota. Love how the curriculum has a focus to reach children's hearts - the most important thing!

Thank you Ladies for your quick response. And yes, that is right, they live in South Dakota and they wanted to encourage children's hearts toward the Lord. Very neat.
