Our Pre-Kindergarten Homeschooling Curriculum

This year we have another precocious four-year-old ready to start homeschool. Enthusiastic about learning to read like her big sister, interested in everything around her, she is full of the belief that she is “a very big girl” now.

Here is what we are using for our pre-kindergarten homeschooling curriculum, as well as some alternative options I love and highly recommend (some purchased, some free). Also, I’ve included a printable checklist of pre-kindergarten learning objectives to give you some ideas of what to cover. But first, a few words on our style of education.
