Today on The Modern Homeschool Podcast, I’ll be discussing how to create a kinder schedule or daily rhythm in your homeschool. I think most of us can agree that the kinder age is a magical one that does not require intensive rigidity but one that thrives on a simple daily flow. I hope you’ll join in to hear about a few ideas if you have a young homeschooler!
Things I loved to focus on with my young homeschoolers:
ABC’s (letter recognition), handwriting, writing a sentence, lots of read alouds, sensory, nature and outdoor play, art, simple maths.
A sample schedule could be: Breakfast, Read Aloud, Art Activity, Maths, Outdoor Play (Sensory, Dough, Rice, Nature), Rest, Snack, Walk, Read, Make Dinner Find more by downloading a free chapter of my book (via pop up on homepage), The Modern Homeschool

More on how I plan here:
Did you know that homeschooling is currently the fastest growing form of education?
With nearly five million homeschoolers in America today, I hope that my listeners will gain inspiration, research and new ways to implement education with their children in natural and intentional ways. I want to offer solutions to the many challenging problems our youth faces today. I want to unify home educators and parents from around the world.
