Are you looking for free curriculum for Preschoolers? There are so many amazing free homeschool preschool curriculum options! More and more parents are making the decision to start homeschooling preschool.
God has gifted us all the tools we need to teach our kids. It may seem intimidating, but really it’s fun and rewarding for the most part. Especially the early years.
Or maybe you could be saying, “I heard homeschooling is costly?” Not so, it only costs as much or as little as you want it to. A lot cheaper than paying to send your kids to preschool. Here is a list of free curriculum for Preschoolers that can help if you have a tight budget or just choose to live a frugal lifestyle.
FREE CURRICULUM FOR PRESCHOOLERS
Preschool is my all time favorite to teach! It’s just so fun! Some moms may disagree about using curriculum for preschool. But I think it’s OK to start them early. As long as you keep it fun and short there is no harm in it.
We’re not talking about 8 hours a day here, more like 20-30 minutes 2-3 days a week is my norm. So they have plenty of time to just be a kid! Along with curriculum, I love to do hands-on activities.

I would like to start my two young kids in preschool homeschooling and I have a fourth grader as well how do I get started And Can we do this in the state of Georgia thank you for your time
Hi Mark! Yes, you can homeschool in the state of Georgia! I checked the Georgia laws for you and they are as follows, (please check the HSLDA website for yourself to get the full info) https://hslda.org/content/hs101/GA.aspx?
1- File an intent to homeschool your 4th grader with their current school, this is important so they don’t mark your child absent or truant. And every year thereafter by September 1, you must submit a “declaration of intent to utilize a home study program” to the Georgia Department of Education. You can access online and printable versions of the declaration of intent on the department’s website. However, you won’t need to file this intent for your young ones until they are 7.
https://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Pages/Home-Schools.aspx
2- 180 days of education with each school day consisting of at least four and one-half school hours. (keep a record)
3- must provide a basic educational program that includes, but is not limited to, reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science.
4- At the end of every school year, you must write a report of the progress that your child made in each of the required subjects. You must keep this report in your records for at least three years. It does not have to be submitted to public school officials.
5- Your child must be tested at least every three years, beginning at the end of the 3rd grade. You may administer the test if you do this “in consultation with a person trained in the administration and interpretation of norm reference tests.” Test results do not have to be submitted to public school officials. HSLDA has some information that may help you locate a test provider on our website. https://hslda.org/content/earlyyears/Testing.asp
Additional info about Homeschooling in the state of Georgia can be found at the HSLDA website, which is where I got this info. https://hslda.org/content/hs101/GA.aspx?
This may seem like a lot, but once you get used to it you will be just fine. The benefits outway everything else!

Thanks for this great list of resources Forest Rose! I’ve bookmarked and will come back again for more.
You are so very welcome Jennifer!
It’s really good to know about curriculum for the preschoolers at free of cost. Many moms are really confused to teach their children at the earlier days of homeschooling. This blog would help them to know the topics and the curriculum to teach their children. Great work!!

I know I was amazed when I set out to homeschool! I couldn’t believe all of the great resources that are available for this age group! And yes it can be very confusing and even scary at first, but it really is soooo worth it and fun at this level.
Another great list – thank you for compiling this and thank you for including us. I agree – preschool is so much fun – I can’t believe my oldest about to move into kindergarten!!
