Homeschooling Kindergarten: Getting Started with Confidence

Homeschooling Kindergarten

Your child is ready to start kindergarten, and you’re planning to homeschool. The stakes feel high, but how do you get it right? Where do you start? What curriculum do you choose? Homeschooling kindergarten is possible, and it doesn’t require recreating the classroom at home or spending hours a day at a desk. 

This article will describe how to homeschool kindergarten, including the subjects to focus on and realistic activities for your child.

What Does Homeschooling for Kindergarten Actually Mean?

Parents who homeschool their child teach them at home instead of sending them to a traditional public or private school. These parents get to choose and teach the curriculum, and set up the schedule. Homeschooling offers families a significant amount of freedom. They can set their own pace, base instruction on their personal values, create a supportive environment, and individualize teaching methods. 

They can choose online instruction, hands-on activities, or nature-based learning. Families can take breaks as needed and even choose to homeschool in the evenings, on weekends, or year-round. Many families choose to seek out support by hiring a tutor or joining a co-op with other homeschool families.

Parents do not need a teaching credential or a college degree in order to homeschool their own child. When parents homeschool, they do not need to use the public school curriculum, follow the traditional school year calendar, or adhere to strict grade levels. You also do not need a separate school space or a big budget for expensive materials. Each state has different laws: some states require tests and detailed records, while others have very few requirements. 

Can You Homeschool Kindergarten?

Yes, you can homeschool kindergarten, and many families choose to do so. Of course, homeschooling kindergarten and how it is done depends on where a family lives. Kindergarten itself is not mandatory in all states. In some states, formal education is required to start at age 5 or 6, but schooling isn’t mandated until age 7 or 8 in other states. 

Homeschooling is legal in all states, but each state has its own homeschool rules. Some states require minimal paperwork or notifications. Other states may require periodic or professional testing or approval of curriculum. Homeschool kindergarten typically focuses on basic math, phonics and literacy, and beginning writing skills. Local requirements may include sending a formal registration letter to your school district. Specific subjects may also be compulsory in certain states.

You can find information on laws for each homeschooling state at HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association). Be sure to look up your specific state’s homeschooling regulations.

How to Homeschool Kindergarten

If you plan to start homeschooling this year, come up with a plan before you get started. Here are our recommendations for planning your homeschool year. 

Check Your Local Homeschool Requirements

The first thing families need to do is look up their local homeschool requirements. This will dictate next steps. These are the categories you need to research:

  • Notification or Registration: Determine if your state requires a Notice of Intent to be filed with the local school district or state department of education. 
  • Subjects: Does your state require certain subjects to be taught, such as math, reading, or handwriting? 
  • Curriculum: Research if your state needs to approve the curriculum or textbooks you choose.
  • Evaluations: Mandated testing or professional evaluations is required in some states. Evaluations could also include portfolio reviews or periodic standardized tests at specific grade levels. 
  • Record Keeping: Look into what records are required where you live. You may need to track days or hours of schooling or keep samples of your child’s work.

Decide What Kind of Kindergarten You Want

When homeschooling for kindergarten, there are many methods of instruction to choose from. Here are some different homeschooling approaches you may want to learn more about.

  • Play-based: This method focuses on child-led exploration and curiosity instead of seated desk work. It often includes imaginative play and life skills. 
  • Structured: At the kindergarten level, a structured approach includes short sessions of focused instruction with breaks for reading and play.
  • Literature-based: A literature-based approach uses books as the main focus of instruction. “Living books,” poetry, and high-quality storybooks naturally grow vocabulary, social-emotional skills, and academics. 
  • Hands-on: A hands-on homeschooling method incorporates play, outdoor activities, crafts, tactile activities, and read-alouds instead of extended time sitting. 
  • Nature-based: Outdoor exploration is the foundation of nature-based homeschooling. It is structured around seasonal rhythms instead of a strict schedule, and incorporates fine motor and life skills through hands-on activities.
  • Faith-based or secular: Faith-based options incorporate religious doctrine into instruction. Secular options offer neutral approaches that are more focused on literature, science, and history.
  • Eclectic: An eclectic approach combines different homeschooling methods. You don’t have to choose one curriculum, but can mix and match different curricula and teaching methods.  

Start Slowly

When planning how to homeschool a kindergartener, remember to start slowly. This is a new experience for both you and your child. And it is a big step. Ease into things. You do not need to tackle all subjects on the first day. 

In the first month, you are establishing new routines, using trial and error to determine which curriculum is best, and setting up a daily schedule with short lessons. Your child is also adjusting to viewing you as their teacher, not just their parent.

By the third month, you will begin to hit your stride and make some academic progress. Your child now knows the predictable routine and is comfortable with your chosen curriculum. You will likely have added all core subjects and found how long to schedule lessons in order to keep your child’s attention.

Kindergarten readiness is not just based on age. Some children will need more time in the play-based stage before moving on to formal academics. Watch for signs of readiness in your child. When a child is ready for more formal schooling, they should be able to focus and complete simple tasks, listen and follow directions, be engaged in songs and stories, follow daily routines, use scissors and writing utensils, and know most letters and numbers.

What to Teach Kindergarten at Home

Once you choose a style of kindergarten, it’s time to identify what you need to teach your homeschool kindergartener. There are multiple areas that are important for kindergarteners to develop, and not all are related to academics. Keep in mind that children develop at different rates, but these are the concepts that most children are expected to master by the end of kindergarten.

Early Literacy and Reading Readiness

Children in kindergarten are building a foundation for reading development by learning to recognize all 26 letters and beginning to understand that letters represent sounds that form words. 

Reading milestones include identifying all uppercase and lowercase letters, matching letters to their sounds, reading CVC words (e.g., top, sun, dog), reading 25-20 sight words, identifying rhyming words, pretending to read by describing pictures in books, retelling basic stories, and answering comprehension questions about stories. 

Handwriting and Fine Motor Skills

In kindergarten, children need adequate hand strength and coordination to be able to complete longer writing activities and complete tasks. Proper pencil grip develops by age 5-6, so your child may still be working on this. 

The fine motor abilities your child should work toward include opening containers independently, turning pages in a book, coloring in the lines, cutting with scissors, putting together simple puzzles, and writing letters and numbers with improved control. Children in kindergarten should also be developing their writing skills by learning to form letters correctly, from top to bottom and left to right. They should be able to write their first name independently.

Math Readiness

Kindergarteners are working toward early math concepts, including counting, number sense, and pattern recognition. These basic math readiness skills set the stage for complex math thinking as they get older. 

During kindergarten, children are expected to identify and write numbers up to 20, count to 100, add/subtract within 10, recognize basic shapes, understand more and less, identify and create patterns.

Listening and Language Skills

Rapid vocabulary growth occurs during kindergarten, and children learn new words through books, class activities, and conversation. They are learning to communicate effectively and advocate for themselves verbally. 

By the end of kindergarten, children should speak clearly enough for most people to understand, speak in complete sentences, answer simple yes/no and wh-questions, share a personal story, and engage in back and forth conversation.

Science and Nature

Scientific thinking and the scientific process is introduced in kindergarten through observation, exploration, and predicting. Children learn about weather, seasons, plants, and animals. They can conduct simple experiments.

At this age, children aren’t expected to memorize facts, but instead use their five senses to describe the world, notice patterns, understand living things, use tools, ask questions, and record simple data.

Art and Music

Children in kindergarten are exploring music and art. They are learning to appreciate and express creativity, follow routines, and build imagination and problem solving skills.

At this age, art focuses on trying new tools and utensils, discovering colors, shapes, and lines, and having fun. Musical expectations include clapping or stomping to keep a beat, trying simple musical instruments, identifying loud versus soft and fast versus slow music, and participating in creative dance and simple body movements. 

Gross Motor Skills

Gross motor skills allow children to safely navigate their environment and participate in physical activities. Kindergarteners need adequate balance and coordination in order to 

Gross motor abilities for children in kindergarten include climbing stairs with alternating feet, running, jumping, skipping, hopping on one foot, balancing on one foot, catching and throwing a ball, and using playground equipment independently. 

Social-Emotional

At the kindergarten level, social-emotional development is more important than academic ability. Children need to have self-regulation skills and basic social skills in order to manage emotions, adapt to classroom expectations, and succeed in a group environment by working and playing appropriately with classmates.

A child in kindergarten should be able to wait their turn, transition between activities, raise their hand before speaking, show empathy when others are hurt or upset, share and take turns, work with peers in small groups, respect personal space, make friends and maintain friendships, communicate their needs, and resolve conflicts appropriately.

Life Skills

Kindergarteners should be able to complete most self-care tasks without assistance. With repetition, they should follow the daily routine. By kindergarten, children should be able to put on and remove clothing (including buttons and zippers), tie shoes, open food containers and wrappers, use utensils, and clean up skills. 

Children are also learning about themselves and their community. They should understand who is in their family, explore community helpers, learn about holidays and traditions, understand rules, and know their address and phone number.

Homeschool Kindergarten Schedule

How do I create a homeschool schedule for kindergarten? There is no perfect schedule. Instead of a rigid timeframe, the best way to set up a homeschool kindergarten schedule is to establish rhythms for your day. Families are working around work schedules, extracurricular activities, multiple children, pets, running a household, or health issues. The benefit of homeschooling is making the schedule fit your family’s life, not the other way around.

Below are several sample schedules for a homeschool kindergarten routine. Keep in mind these are just examples, presented to show you options of ways to structure your child’s days. 

Simple Homeschool Schedule for Kindergarten

This is an example of a simple homeschool schedule for kindergarten. This is just one option to consider, and can be customized for your family’s needs.

Short and Gentle Kindergarten Schedule

A short and gentle schedule keeps days flexible, while sticking to a robust curriculum. A calm daily rhythm allows for flexibility. It ensures a solid education with the free play that is age appropriate for a kindergartener. 

This type of homeschool kindergarten schedule works best when set up in time blocks with extra wiggle room to allow for cleanups and transitions. It also usually wraps up by noon. 

Early Morning: These hours set the tone for the rest of the day. Mornings can be calm and slow instead of rushed. Spend time talking and cooking breakfast together. This is a time to teach basic cooking skills. Morning chores can include cleaning up the kitchen, feeding pets, watering plants, walking the dog, etc. 

Mid morning: During calendar time, you can discuss the date, day of the week, and the day’s weather. Target core subjects, such as math and reading, during this time.

Late morning: This is when you can rotate science and history throughout the week, or any other non-core subjects. You can also intersperse nature studies and crafts. 

Picture books and read-alouds can be completed in one block or interspersed throughout the morning. Your child may need to be busy while you read, so offer coloring or puzzles. 

Homeschool Kindergarten Schedule for Working Parents

Parents who work can homeschool. It takes a solid routine and good time management, but it can be done. A kindergarten homeschool schedule for working parents will depend on the work hours and flexibility in their work schedule. 

Find a rhythm that works for you. One option is to get up early and work before your child wakes up in the morning. Another option is to work in the afternoons or evenings while your child has an independent quiet or play time and when they are asleep at night. If you work weekends, you can homeschool during the week. The alternative is also an option: some families choose to do the majority of their homeschooling on the weekends if parents work all week. 

Homeschool Kindergarten Schedule With Older Siblings

Many families are homeschooling multiple children. This can be done effectively but it will of course require some additional consideration. 

There are a couple different approaches to take. Some families do family style homeschooling, where all learning takes place together. This is similar to how a one room schoolhouse works.

Another option is to give dedicated time to each grade and rotate grades throughout the day, with several group activities that all participate in. This may look like giving focused time to younger or older siblings where you provide instruction or guidance while the other siblings take a break. You can also set up children with independent work they can complete while you assist another child. 

How Long Should Kindergarten Homeschool Take Each Day?

Kindergarten homeschool takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours, with the average being about 60 minutes of seatwork. It may vary daily, depending on the day’s activities and the child’s interest in what they are doing.  

You will need to find out what works best for your child. Some children at this age may not be ready to sit at a table for any length of time. Others may be ready and excited to learn from you. You might even adjust throughout the year, and increase the length of seatwork as your child matures and their attention span increases. 

Homeschool Kindergarten Lesson Plans

Homeschool kindergarten lesson plans should introduce and teach age-appropriate skills. Keep in mind that most concepts will be new to a kindergartener. At this age, repetition of skills, targeted in different ways, is key. Children learn through repeated exposure to a concept. A specific concept can be taught and reviewed across a whole week. This section will lay out examples of a daily lesson plan and a sample weekly lesson plan structure. 

One Skill, Start to Finish

Here is an example lesson plan for teaching the letter B.

Letter Focus: B (uppercase B, lowercase b)

Letter Sound: /b/ as in bat, bubble, boy

Morning time: Sing a song or chant a rhyme containing the /B/ sound (Baa Baa Black Sheep)

Lesson: 

  • Introduce the letter B: show cards with the uppercase B and lowercase B
  • Come up with a list of words that start with B: bee, bath, book
  • Show how to write B: Big line down, jump back to the top, two bumps down

Movement: Buzz around like a bumblebee, saying the /b/ sound

Hands-on Activity: Practice writing B in a tray of salt or sugar

Story time: Read a picture book featuring the letter B. Have your child point out every B they see. (Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?)

Weekly Lesson Plan Structure

At the kindergarten level, many families choose to teach a letter of the week. Each week targets a different letter of the alphabet. Each day of the week focuses on the same skills for that letter, but targets these skills in different ways.

Homeschool Kindergarten Activities

We have included a list of homeschool kindergarten activities for literacy, language, math, fine motor, science and nature, and life skills. These simple activities utilize minimal affordable supplies, are quick to set up, and easy to implement. 

Early Literacy Activities

  • Storybook Picture Walks: Before reading a book, flip through it and talk about the pictures. Ask your child questions about what is happening, what they think will happen next, how the characters feel, etc. Have them tell you a story about the pictures. This helps build vocabulary, comprehension, and creativity.
  • Letter Scavenger Hunts: This can be done in your house, in the backyard, or during a walk or drive through the neighborhood. Search for letters on signs, license plates, and food labels. Have your child identify the letter and the sound it makes. This phonics activity builds phonemic awareness skills.
  • Songs and Nursery Rhymes: Singing songs and nursery rhymes can be done daily. Identifying and coming up with rhyming words is a key phonological awareness skill. Add movement to the songs to get out some energy and wiggles.
  • Letter Tracing: Set up a tray or baking sheet filled with shaving cream, salt, sugar, rice. Have your child write or trace letters while naming the letter and saying the letter sound. Multisensory activities like these help boost memory and improve motor skills. 

Listening and Language Activities

  • Simon Says: This game is a classic for a reason. It teaches children to listen closely to verbal instructions in order to follow them correctly. They also need to think before acting, practicing impulse control. To play, give a command such as “Simon says touch your nose.” Your child should only follow the command if it starts with the words “Simon says.”
  • Noise Scavenger Hunt: This indoor or outdoor scavenger hunt focuses on sounds instead of letters. Give your child a page or cards with pictures of sounds, such as birds chirping, cars driving by, doors opening/closing, footsteps, etc. Have them listen for each sound and mark off each one as they hear it. This activity builds attention skills, auditory skills, and helps children focus on different sounds in their environment. It also promotes language development by building vocabulary. 
  • Audiobooks: Listening to audiobooks is a great way to build language and listening skills. You can pair the audio with the written book so your child can follow along as they listen. During or after the audiobook, ask questions about the story, such as “What sounds did you hear?”, “Who said that”, or “What happened at the end?” This strengthens listening skills, attention, comprehension, and vocabulary. 
  • I Spy: Describe an object in your environment, such as “I spy something that is silver, pointy, goes in the kitchen, and we use it for eating.” Your child should guess that you are describing a fork. Eventually you can switch and your child can practice naming attributes of items for you to guess. Your child will build their listening, vocabulary, and descriptive language skills. 
  • Sensory Bin Sort: Hide picture cards or physical objects in bins of beans, rice, sand, or popcorn kernels. Have your child dig for items, name it, and sort it into piles or buckets. Your child will boost their categorization and vocabulary skills.

Math Activities

  • Create Shapes & Numbers: Use objects like sticks, flowers, string, and rocks to form numbers or shapes. This targets number and shape identification and formation.
  • Pom Pom Adding: Use egg cartons and pom poms to practice adding. Give the child two numbers and have them use the pom poms and egg cartons to add the numbers together. Encourage them to count all the pom poms to find the sum. This activity helps children visualize the concept of addition and begin practicing simple addition.
  • Size Scavenger Hunt: Discuss the concepts of “big” and “small.” Find big and small items around the house and then compare them with other objects inside or in nature. Encourage them to “find something bigger than your foot” or “find something smaller than your mitten.” This targets size concepts and comparison.
  • Jewelry Counting: Using a pipe cleaner as the string, have your child thread beads onto the pipe cleaner to make a necklace or bracelet. They can count the beads as they work. You can also give them a certain number of beads to put on. This allows children to practice counting and helps them understand one-to-one correspondence.

Fine Motor and Handwriting Activities

  • Playdough: Offer playdough for your child to play with. Rolling, kneading, squeezing, and molding the playdough builds hand strength. They can mold the playdough into letters to work on letter formation.
  • Tweezers Pick-Up: Have your child use tweezers or tongs to pick up small objects such as dried beans, pom poms, beads, or seeds. This helps build their pincer grasp. 
  • Vertical Writing: Practice writing or painting on a vertical easel, chalkboard, or window. This angle helps build shoulder strength and stabilizes your child’s wrist. 
  • Cut & Tear: Offer paper for your child to rip. Offer child-safe scissors for your child to cut paper or straws. Draw lines for them to cut along. This builds hand strength, the pincer grasp, and overall fine motor skills. 

Science and Nature Activities

  • Leaf prints: Gather leaves and place them under a sheet of paper. Lightly rub over the paper with crayons to see the leaf texture. Explore the veins, patterns, and shapes. Your child will use tactile exploration to make scientific observations. 
  • Colored Celery: Put celery sticks in water mixed with food coloring. Watch how the celery draws up the water to the leaves. This introduces your child to a simple science experiment. 
  • Sink or Float: Fill a tub or bucket with water. Choose a variety of items and put them in the water one at a time to test and see if they sink or float. Make predictions first, and document your results in a simple chart with pictures. This is an introduction to the scientific method of observing, asking questions, making a hypothesis, conducting an experiment, and drawing conclusions. 
  • Puddle Evaporation: Use a ruler to measure a puddle after a storm or heavy rain. Continue measuring the puddle every hour to see how fast the water disappears through evaporation. This answers the question of “where does the water go” after it rains by introducing the concept of evaporation and liquid changing to gas. 
  • Nature Journal: Have your child keep a nature journal in a notebook. They can draw, write about, label, measure, and track interesting nature discoveries. Ideas include tracking weather, collecting leaves, sketching animals and insects, documenting changing seasons, and tracking plant growth. Your child will work on their observation skills, as well as their creativity and writing skills. 

Life Skills Activities

  • Personal Information: Teach your child their full name (first, middle, last), address, their parents names, and their parents’ phone numbers. These are important things to know in case of an emergency.
  • Morning routine: Set up a simple morning routine for your child to follow. This may include getting dressed, making their bed, using the bathroom, eating breakfast, and brushing their teeth and hair. You may need to use a visual schedule for them to follow until they get the hang of it. This teaches self-care skills.
  • Meal preparation: Being able to prepare and serve food is an important skill for a child to learn. Your child can help you make meals by getting out ingredients, washing fruits and vegetables, measuring, pouring, and mixing. You can teach them to make their own simple snacks. They can also set the table with plates, utensils, cups, and napkins. 
  • Chores: Your child should know that they are a member of the team and contribute to the household. They can complete simple chores, such as sweeping the floor after meals, rinsing dishes, throwing out trash, and sorting the laundry by colors. 

How to Track Progress in Homeschool Kindergarten

Tracking progress in homeschool kindergarten does not need to be complicated. At this age your child experiences significant growth, but they should not be compared to other children. Utilize checklists, rubrics, and anecdotal records to track progress. Write notes about how your child is progressing in specific areas. Checklists can be used to track each area, including life skills, math skills, literacy skills, etc. 

Remember that the foundation for your child’s academic growth is in non-academic areas. They will grow socially, emotionally, and physically. Watch for how your child’s fine motor skills are progressing. Look at their improvements in playtime interactions, sharing, and problem solving. Keep track of their increased independence and ways they help around the house. These are more important that being able to read and write.

When to Seek Extra Support

Some parents may reach a point where they need more support for their child. When should you reach out to a professional? Watch for significant delays in any of the major developmental areas. Keep in mind that this article is educational, and not to be used for diagnostic purposes.

If your child is unable to express their wants or needs or their family members are unable to understand them, you may need to contact a speech language pathologist. In addition, comprehension difficulties could include being unable to follow basic instructions or answer simple questions. An inability to use a writing utensil or manipulate small items could indicate weak fine motor skills. 

A child may have sensory issues if they don’t tolerate touching or eating a variety of textures. Both of these difficulties could warrant a conversation with an occupational therapist. If they are unable to attend to tasks for even a couple minutes, you may want to reach out to your child’s doctor or an educational psychologist. A professional can help you determine if your child needs additional support. 

The Benefits of Using Forbrain for Homeschool Kindergarten Support

Forbrain is an auditory stimulation tool that can complement kindergarten homeschool learning. This tool provides auditory feedback to the wearer. When a child wears the Forbrain headset, they can hear their own speech more clearly, which improves listening and focus. Forbrain can be used alongside most homeschool activities, such as reading aloud and speech and language practice. 

When worn during songs and nursery rhymes, Forbrain can boost memory of the song and build phonological awareness. It can also be worn during audiobooks or storybook picture walks to improve comprehension as they read and discuss books.

Forbrain should not replace professional evaluation or therapy when there are significant concerns.

Bottom Line

Starting kindergarten is a big step for your child, and homeschooling your child is a big choice for your family. With the proper support and preparation, your child can excel in this new setting. Consider what kind of kindergarten you want to implement, set up a realistic schedule that works for your family, and incorporate your child’s interests. Don’t be afraid to ease into a new routine and give it time for everyone to get used to this change. Homeschooling kindergarten can be a positive and joyful experience for both you and your child.
