Pre-school at home YOU CAN DO IT!

You made the decision to homeschool your pre-schooler, and then googled (of course you did!) “homeschool” and “pre-school”, and were met with a flood of websites, images and ideas.

It can feel completely daunting and scary. Maybe you will be struck by three things (like I was…).

First, that there is an overwhelming number of websites with ideas and advice on how to do this. Second, not very many of them actually give a formal curriculum or programme for homeschooling a preschooler, especially if you don’t want your toddler glued to a device all day (but there are lots for Grades R and up).
