Homeschool Curriculum for Kindergarten

Having homeschooled three kids and now my grandson, I can tell you that in Kindergarten we focused A LOT on reading and basic math. Those were the subjects we used more formal curriculum for, then the others I would often include a unit study here and there.

My youngest would go down the rabbit hole on a topic (like bees, dinosaurs, rocks, etc) and we would just roll with it. I’d find books, printables, videos, and more to feed her inquisitive mind.

All that being said, that is NOT THE ONLY OPTION! There are plenty of full curriculum options for homeschooling kindergarten, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with going that route!

Please take a look at the collection of homeschool curriculum for kindergarten I have compiled here for you. Some all in one packages, some subject specific. While it may not be an exhaustive list, there are more than enough options and variety to get you rolling!
