Homeschooling kindergarten kids can be an extremely rewarding experience. There are wonderful things to learn all around us especially outside of the classroom. Kindergarten children can learn the essential skills at home just as they do in public and private schools.
There are many benefits to homeschooling. Since your home is a safe controlled environment your children are at less of a risk of getting hurt or sick. By skipping the morning commute will allow your child a less hectic environment. Rushing around to get ready and braving the morning rush hour traffic is not a lesson that needs to be part of the curriculum. This method of schooling also allows for alternate working schedules at home.
In life, every minute is an opportunity to learn. At home there are endless ways to follow up on the kids' lessons. Family activities and even vacations can be planned around what your child is learning. There is no better way to teach a child than to immerse them in the lesson and teach them in all possible ways.
The costs of homeschooling your kindergarten kids can be significantly less than that of sending your child to private or public school. It seems that these days public elementary schools are requiring uniforms. This can be a costly expense. By making your own school supplies like flashcards and calendars at home you can save money. There are also many free online resources for new ideas and printable activities.
The only real disadvantage to homeschooling is that your child does not have constant social interaction. This can be remedied by scheduling organized learning activities during play dates. Doing so will provide your kids with an opportunity to focus around their peers as well as socialize and play.
