BEST Free Kindergarten Homeschool Curriculum With A Gentle Approach (List)

Today, I have rounded up the best free kindergarten homeschool curriculum with a gentle approach for kindergarten homeschool curriculum.

Too, kindergarten curriculum is not a must have at this age. I know that is not the answer some parents want to hear. It wasn’t for me either when I started.

However, after having three homeschooled grads and mentoring Mr. MunchKing right now, I know a gentle start is best.

Whenever did we adopt the thinking in education that a separation from life skills at this age or any age takes second position to formal curriculum?

It should not.

Up until this time, you’ve taught your child a language, potty-trained him, and are now teaching him about the world around him in a natural way.

Continue to be the best first and only teacher of what is important all the way to adulthood.

Besides, free homeschool curriculum or purchased curriculum should always take a backseat to life skills and the maturity of your child.

In addition, you may not need to spend a lot of money in kindergarten.

There are many reasons for choosing free kindergarten homeschool curriculum.

How to Use the Free Kindergarten Homeschool Curriculum List

For example, because Kindergarten should be play-based spend more of your budget on games, science kits, and craft supplies.

This is not just idle play, but learning through pretend play and hands-on discovery is how children learn best.

Playing fosters creativity which lasts a child’s whole learning journey.

Don’t stifle it by using too much formal curriculum.

In addition, I have a few links for crafts of things you have around the house.

Also I have a Homeschool Kickstarter online self-paced course for first-time homeschoolers.

If you have several children after your kindergarten aged child, then it’s worth the time to both create and maybe buy manipulatives to use.

Again, save some of the budget to use for books, learning toys, items to strengthen fine motor and science kits.

Next, there are a few more ways you can utilize free homeschool curriculum.

How to Expand on the Kindergarten Curriculum List

For instance, not all kindergarten aged children are on the same level, but they all learn the same way.

Think about that for a minute.

In kindergarten it’s all within the range of normal for children to still be learning letter sounds to reading beginner chapter books. And some are even reading higher level books.

However, what makes it hard at this age is presenting skills in a fun way or play-based.

So, when you use free curriculum, you can gauge the follow skill levels:

• Since children have better fine motor coordination closer to first grade, you want to continue to see improvement through crafts NOT writing.
• Using the free phonics and reading literature, gauge your child’s reading level.
• And use the math and phonics to evaluate your child’s familiarity with numbers and sounds.

All the years I’ve used free curriculum, it helped me to prep each of my sons for a more formal first grade or even the next year.

Whether you use free curriculum for review or to lay a strong foundation, you will need to plan.

As Einstein said, Imagination is more important than knowledge.

And the best part of teaching the kindergarten years doesn’t happen with curriculum.

Reading to your child, playing with him, taking nature walks, making crafts, growing a bean from seed, coloring, dancing, and listening to music are ways you help your child observe the world around him.
