FAQs about Homeschooling Kindergarten

What is the best kindergarten homeschool curriculum?

The best curriculum is the one that works well for you and your child. There is not one single best curriculum. Every child is different and every family is different—so there is a wide range of curriculum to choose from.

Children learn successfully from many different homeschool curricula! Even what your best friend thinks is best may not work as well for your kids and vice versa. Your search should be for a curriculum that fits your family well.

Also keep in mind, some people don’t use any formal kindergarten curriculum at all when they homeschool, and that is what works best for them. Others are attracted to a certain type of education, such as Waldorf or Montessori or Classical, so the best curriculum for them is one that reflects their favored approach to education.

How do I choose kindergarten homeschool curriculum?

Choose a curriculum that seems to fit your family—your child, your self, and your situation. You can tell a lot about curriculum through flip-throughs and reviews on social media and websites.

• Some curriculum companies sponsor Facebook groups and others have fan groups or social followings where you can join to read about people’s experiences or ask questions.
• Many publishers have free samples available at their websites, and you can even try out lessons with your child.
• Some homeschool groups have curriculum swaps, sales, and shares where you can peruse curriculum others have used.
• In some communities, there are homeschool book stores with experienced parents who can tell you pros and cons of various curricula for kindergarten.

Consider these questions as you look at various curricula you might choose for kindergarten:

• Will your child enjoy a curriculum that is more based on reading and writing or more based on projects, outdoor time, or hands-on activities?
• Will you mind gathering the materials for lots of crafts or doing deep reading to prepare for a lesson, or do you prefer a curriculum that is more “open and go,” with little prep on your part?
• Will your child be cared for part of the time by a partner, grandparent, or babysitter who will be helping with education, so you need lessons that are easily shared among adults?
• Where is your child in reading, writing, and arithmetic skills? Does the curriculum you are considering meet your child at or barely above their current skill level?
• Does the curriculum reflect the social, moral, or religious values you hope to impart?
• If it’s important to you, does the curriculum align with what public school students are learning at the same age? (This last one is tricky: you might also be one of many homeschooling parents who does not want what schools teach in public kindergarten, feeling many formerly first grade academic skills have been inappropriately pushed down to kindergarten).

Learn more about selecting the best homeschool curriculum for a child in any grade, including kindergarten, by reading our article How to Choose the Best Curriculum for Your Family’s Needs.

Does my kindergarten curriculum need to be accredited?

Homeschool curriculum, including kindergarten curriculum, does not need to be (and cannot be) accredited. That’s because accreditation is for schools, colleges, and institutions. Accreditation does not ever apply to any kind of curriculum by itself, and it’s not needed for homeschooling.

Some families do use accredited private, public and religious schools (online or in person) to meet compulsory attendance laws, but you can also meet compulsory attendance laws by homeschooling independently with any curriculum you choose. Accreditation is not a factor in whether your homeschooling is seen as legitimate.

Sometimes an online school or academy and the curriculum they use share the same name, which is confusing and may lead to the impression that the curriculum is accredited. Still, the curriculum is not accredited; remember, it can’t be! It’s not a school!

If your children are learning at home under a public charter school or with a curriculum provided by public school for free, your choice of curriculum may be limited because your child is enrolled in public education. You’ll have to follow their regulations and use only curriculum they accept.

If your child attends public school after homeschooling during kindergarten, grade placement will be up to the public school. Use of any certain program while homeschooling does not guarantee grade placement when a child enters school. In the early years, including kindergarten and first grade, schools often place students with their age-mates, but school officials are legally allowed to determine grade placement regardless of a child’s experience with home education.

How do I build/create/put together a kindergarten homeschool curriculum?

You can choose an “all-in-one” or “most-in-one” curriculum that covers all or most of the typical school subjects, and then you can make individual curriculum choices to add in specialized subjects such as math, reading, or handwriting.

Or, you can mix and match for every subject you want your child to learn this year. For example, with a child who loves being outdoors, you might choose a nature curriculum that helps children learn basic science. It may have a language arts component, but you may have to add math and how-to-read curricula to make it more complete.

Also recognize that many kindergarten skills can be learned without any curriculum at all. You may be able to help your child count, sort, add and subtract naturally, for example. You may be able to help your child learn to form letters correctly by creating your own “copywork” for your child to trace or copy. You can add in curriculum when you need resources in areas where you feel less comfortable helping your child learn in the context of your daily life.

How do I teach kindergarten with free curriculum?

There are free homeschooling curricula available online for kindergarten (examples included above), and you can view lessons on a tablet or download and print lessons. Free curricula often have recommended books that pair with lessons, which you can borrow from your local library.

There are also many free resources at independent websites that help children learn about specific subjects or topics. These include museum websites, historical site websites, and homeschool and other educational websites that offer free resources. Google is your friend!

Using free curricula may be less convenient because you have to do the legwork to find the appropriate books and supplementary materials, but many children learn successfully with free curriculum.

Tips for Homeschooling Kindergarten

Whether you homeschool with a kindergarten curriculum or not:

• Read aloud to your child every day, as much as you can, whether you also use a formal homeschooling kindergarten curriculum or not. Help them develop a relationship with books, with words on the page.
• Be a scribe for your child. You write down the stories they tell you, their recaps of a favorite TV show or movie, or the brief note they narrate to you when they want to send a card to Grandma. This is the beginning of writing composition skills!
• Be responsive. A child who is curious about how you are capturing their words on paper will be interested in those letters on the page. Respond naturally by showing them letters and words they can become familiar with or copy onto their drawings.
• Count and sort. Sort socks by color, ice cream by favorite flavors, leaves by their shapes, and vehicles by size or what they are used for. Add up the number of forks needed for dinner or the number of Lego bricks needed to even up the wall. This is an introduction to numeracy!
• Encourage questions. If you don’t know the answers, say so and demonstrate that you know how to look for more information in library books, on the internet, and by asking someone who knows more.
• Go places. Both “every-day” errands and planned field trips can be learning opportunities. Kids learn when they see money being exchanged, pick apples at a fruit farm, see historical re-enactments, or attend a music concert. When they reflect with you about what they learned or liked, they are practicing the earliest form of creating “reports”—an early composition skill.
• Take time to “deschool.” If you’re new to homeschooling, you may assume it’s a replication of school but implemented at home. Nope! There are many differences between homeschooling and school, and you’ll find the most advantages in homeschooling if you take time to question which school practices are necessary and sensible for learning at home. When parents engage in this constructive questioning process, it’s called parental deschooling.
• Gently mix in some more structured settings. Kids can learn the art of listening to an adult, taking turns, and raising their hands in just a few hours a month at library story time, tumbling, or at a craft day in the park. (Surprise! It turns out that research shows that kids do better by fourth grade if they have not had too much of this “adult-centered” formal instruction in their early years).

Insistence Doesn’t Fix Resistance

Be ready to be flexible. There is a wide range for learning kindergarten-level skills, and even smart kids sometimes start out strong in homeschooling kindergarten but may begin to resist. Insistence has never helped resistance! You are homeschooling and can be flexible by:

• taking breaks
• giving your child more time to develop
• changing your homeschooling kindergarten curriculum
• changing your approach or homeschooling style for kindergarten altogether
• considering what you can use for homeschooling instead of curriculum

Always remember your goal is to create a love of learning—not to get through the curriculum. Curriculum is a tool meant to serve your family, and there are so many things homeschoolers don’t have to do like school.

Your child has many years to learn!

Is there a need for a unified educational program for kindergarten?

Today, kindergartens use various programs for the upbringing and education of preschool children. They have the right to choose which program to prefer. However, not everyone likes this variety. Quite often you can hear the opinion that kindergartens need a single program. This problem worries not only educators, but also parents. We invited them to express their views on this issue. We bring to your attention the most interesting answers of parents, educators and visitors to the site of our magazine.

Elena:

– We need a state standard, and programs and methodological support will be attached. It is a pity that all education reforms and national projects do not start from the beginning, with preschoolers, but from higher education, then from the middle level. It’s like the cart before the horse. We need a single, coherent system of education standards, then there will be no questions about succession, choice of programs, etc. And we need to start with preschool education.

elvira.zuh:

– A unified program is very much needed! Each kindergarten “sculpts” anything! Diagnosis is not objective. Now there are a lot of random people in kindergartens due to the lack of specialists. And these inexperienced teachers are trying to draw up work programs, diagnostics, the results of which are used to judge the level of knowledge of children. And I would like to see highly qualified teachers doing this. And, by the way, about the requirements of the sanitary and epidemiological regime … How can you comply with it, tell me, dear teachers? There are so many wrong claims. For example, a walk. How, living in the Komi Republic, can you walk for 4.5 hours?

Victoria Nikolaevna Pastukhova , teacher:

– Our kindergarten has been working for many years under the Kindergarten Education and Training Program, ed. M. A. Vasilyeva, V. V. Gerbova and T. S. Komarova. In my opinion, a very successful program, the best specialists in preschool education worked on its creation. It has everything that a teacher needs for work, it is supplemented by a large number of methodological recommendations. I closely follow all the methodological novelties that come out under this program. I know several kindergartens that switched to other programs, but then returned to this one. Programs, if they have to change, then very slowly. It is impossible to quickly come up with new teaching methods – they need to be tested for years.

A.T. Gozyumova :

– A unified program is needed. Just do not forget that there are different regions of Russia, so it is impossible for children in the Far North to make the same demands as in Moscow. In our country, for example, in winter, at temperatures from minus 20 to minus 32 degrees, you need to go for a walk twice just because it is written in the program. There is also a problem with diagnostic methods – there is a program, but there is no diagnostics, why not include the method of diagnostic examination in the program. And the methodical literature is issued for years to the program. A very interesting, convenient, practical book was published under the editorship of Paramonova under the program “Origins”. There are classes and additional material for all sections of the program, no need to look for poems, riddles, etc. Maybe this is how you approach a single program. And then the fantasy of the teacher! And how difficult it is for graduates of pedagogical universities, because there is no continuity.

Tatiana and Natalia :

– And it seems to us that initially it is necessary to approve the state standard for preschool education, and ideally, each program should meet the requirements of the state standard. Each specialist and teacher of a preschool institution will choose the program that is ideal for working with children in his institution.

Tatyana Yurievna Krivorotova :

– In my opinion, a unified educational program for kindergarten is definitely needed. Really equal starting opportunities for preschool children will be created, which will improve the quality of education at subsequent stages of education and development of children. A cultural image of preschool age will be formed, which will make it possible to meaningfully understand its place in the age structure of our society. And the framework and directions for the development of the preschool educational industry will be determined.

Hope :

– I think that a unified educational program for kindergarten is absolutely necessary, because when there is a frontal test in kindergarten, other teachers come and they test our children according to their own program, which they use in their kindergarten. Sometimes there are discrepancies in test scores. So prove that the programs are different.

Arina , teacher:

– But it seems to me that it is no longer possible to “row everyone under the same brush”, as it was in Soviet times. When a step to the left-to the right from the norm was considered as “something”. And why is this leveling necessary? After all, each program has its own zest – and let all children be different. School is another matter. Indeed, sometimes it is even impossible to transfer a child to another school, because it has a completely different program.

Veronika Ivanovna Rebrova , municipal preschool educational institution “Kindergarten No. 35 of the combined type”, Bugry village, Vsevolzhsky district of the Leningrad region:

– The main comprehensive program should be unified, but it is necessary to leave the opportunity for preschoolers to layer some partial directions that will help reflect the specifics of the institution’s activities. We work according to Vasilyeva’s program. In this program, we like clarity, certainty, the program has been worked out for years. It allows for variation and layering of all other programs. And for example, the program “Childhood”, in my opinion, leaves no room for the implementation of additional services, where the burden on children is very large.

Marina Sergeevna Merzaeva :

– Yes, you need it! And the problem of variability is completely solved by the possibility of introducing partial and additional programs. It’s enough! But a single program must be carefully worked out, relying strictly on a scientific basis, the results of the latest (genuine) research of teachers, psychologists and physiologists. The program must have complete methodological support, clearly developed diagnostic methods! This is often lacking in many educational programs. Practitioners are tired of doing theoretical research (I express the opinion of many). Not every practitioner (even if he is a teacher from God) can and wants to be a researcher.

Marina Ivanova :

– Everything is obvious – only Montessori. I am fascinated by the very personality of Maria Montessori, her activities, her love for children. One has only to read the commandments of M. Montessori. Although to be honest, they are much more difficult to perform. Here I see an example and support in Montessori teachers, observing their patience, endurance, kindness. The most important qualities are being developed, which are now somewhat relegated to the background. For us, parents, learning often becomes a priority, now reading, now writing, now, already, already … In the Montessori program, this is not forgotten, but they pay attention, for example, to the development of independence. I always wanted my child to have this quality, but I never had the patience not to develop this quality, but at least to avoid suppressing it. Of course, this is to blame, it seems to me, haste and the desire to do everything faster, better to do it myself. Swimming – we know. The child starts washing the cup, then he has to buy a new one, starts helping to cook, then it will take much more time to clean the kitchen. Thank you. I thought it was unrealistic for children to do something on their own without breaking or damaging anything. And one more very important thing – all these manuals, toys, in general, “bells and whistles” according to the Montessori program. I want to play and explore myself.

Elena Praselkova :

– I have an idea on this topic. It was formed under the influence of personal experience. My older children went to the same kindergarten, which works according to the same program. But their teachers were different, and the results were also very different. An interesting point: the one of the sons who more often said that they mostly play in kindergarten, as a result, received a more solid foundation for obtaining school knowledge. But for another child, the teacher used to work as a teacher in an elementary school. And the process of learning in kindergarten in her group was clearly organized. But already at school they told me that the child has gaps precisely in the program that he was supposed to learn in kindergarten. The variant of training in the game turned out to be more effective. The teacher managed to effortlessly lay very important foundations. The personality of the educator is very important, and different results can be obtained within the same program. It is very pleasing when the teacher manages during the training not only to give the child knowledge, but also to discover the world around. I watched how the children studied well with a talented teacher, and if they came to class with a problem, then after the lesson they looked at their little difficult children’s situation in a completely different way. The success of education strongly depends on the personality of the teacher, to a greater extent than on the program. Therefore, I will raise my youngest child up to three years on my own, and then? Then the search for that truly talented educator-teacher who will be useful to my child.

Tatyana Kalinichenko :

– You know, I prepared very carefully for choosing a kindergarten. I read a lot of literature. Subscribed to all kinds of magazines on childhood issues. Hours hanging in the forums on the Internet. I could not make a decision for a long time, because the price of choice is very high – the upbringing of my daughter. This is an environment in which she will spend not one or two hours, but stay for a long time. I was confused. There are far more opposing opinions about kindergarten programs than I could imagine and digest so much conflicting information. Friends and acquaintances also contradicted each other, and sometimes just logic. My mother pulled me out of this vicious circle of contradictions. Although I didn’t really touch on this topic with her before, because somehow I still wanted something fashionable, creative. But my mother tactfully, wisely, completely unobtrusively led me to a simple but correct decision. Now I can talk about it, because I am satisfied with the result. I stopped, paradoxically, at one of the very first programs that were developed for our kindergartens. This is a program edited by M. A. Vasilyeva. Now it has been time-tested, verified by educators, because it has a lot of work experience. The educators managed to become related to this program and now they are calmly and confidently raising children. And like I said, I’m satisfied. There are no special priorities for the development of anything in the program. All-round development is given. For this age, this is the most suitable option, because at this stage of development it is necessary to harmoniously introduce the child to all types of art, to the outside world and many, many others. And it is important that health is not forgotten, now our children are not always in perfect condition.

Natalia Selifonova , psychologist:

– My daughter has been going to kindergarten for two years. The choice was influenced to a greater extent by the reviews of other mothers about kindergartens, which I collected at playgrounds, clinics, etc. I rejected the option of sending my daughter to the Education Center, which is located next to the house, only because of the negative feedback from mothers, who told how their children were treated there. As a result, I chose the most ordinary kindergarten, working according to a standard program approved by the Ministry of Education. Without any bias or additional component of education. And the first year I, generally speaking, looked at the attitude towards children in this garden. Then we again could go to this improved kindergarten, but I refused it. The child is already accustomed to the place, to the group. And my daughter stayed where she was. Subsequently, I will be able to change kindergarten, based on the fact that the child will have to go to school. Then I will transfer my daughter to the preparatory department that will prepare children for this particular school.

I am a child psychologist, I have an idea about pre-school education programs. I know their advantages and disadvantages. I know that our domestic program, the most common in kindergartens, is very well designed. The program itself is very high quality. What, in my opinion, is missing, I make up for by taking care of the child myself. Mom’s ultimate dream is to study under the Development program. In the future, it is important for me to connect the kindergarten with the school institution so that the child goes to study, already prepared for the school that I have chosen.

Ludmila

– We need a unified program not only in kindergarten, but also at school. For example, people have changed their place of residence and do not know what to do with the school and kindergarten: there was one thing, here is another – the requirements are different. According to one program in the kindergarten, they prepare for school thoroughly, according to some notebooks (planning in the future, apparently, to go to school according to the “school 2100” program), and in another kindergarten there is not even an account . ..

Nikolay Petrovich

– I’m for variety. Another thing is that parents do not know what are the features of a particular program and how to choose the right one that the child really needs. And of course, parents should be able to choose which kindergarten to send their child to. Now the main thing is just to get a place for the child, and what program will get – like a lottery ticket.

Oksana Dmitrievna Svetlenko , teacher

– Of course, we need variability. Today, teachers use different programs in schools. Even in parallel classes they work according to different programs. Why can’t this be done in kindergarten? One educator uses “Origins”, the other – “Development”. Both teachers and parents will have a choice. The main thing is that there should be control over the programs, so that all of them are tested and recommended by authoritative structures.
