There are some wonderful things happening between the ages of 4 and 6. Well, truthfully, we can say this about many ages. But I’m talking about big-time brain development. Our kiddos are soaking up language like little sponges, figuring out big emotions, and turning into tiny ninjas with all that physical energy. In other words, it’s the perfect time to nurture their growing minds and bodies. And the best thing is, we don’t need to do this while sitting at a desk or during any set hours. This can be done by engaging at home and outside any time throughout your day with my kindergarten homeschool curriculum! 

Today, I would like to introduce you to my perfectly named resource, Kindergarten at Home. This 36-week adventure is designed to develop all those core skills in 4 to 6-year-olds. This curriculum is all about learning through play, discovery, and meaningful connections. We cover all the essentials like literacy, numeracy, science, and critical thinking, but we do it in a way that feels natural and fun. Your child will enjoy storytelling, games, hands-on problem-solving, emotional wellness activities, and crafts to spark that creativity.

Let’s dive deeper into this resource and see all it has to offer. 

Kindergarten Homeschool Curriculum

Kids learn best when they’re engaged, moving, and feeling safe and supported. That’s exactly what our curriculum helps you do—it taps into your child’s natural energy and curiosity, turning everyday moments into powerful learning opportunities. We’ve designed this course to be simple and stress-free for you, while keeping it whimsical and engaging for your child. It covers all the core foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and science, along with a wide range of other developmentally appropriate skills—all in just three mornings a week.

Yes, you read that right—this kindergarten curriculum only requires three mornings a week! You might be wondering how that’s possible. The beauty of working one-on-one with your child is that you can accomplish far more than in a traditional classroom setting. You’re able to move at your child’s unique pace, spend extra time on trickier concepts, and breeze through material your child already understands.

Kindergarten at Home is organized into 18 thoughtfully designed themes: 6 Fall, 6 Winter, and 6 Spring. Each theme is meant to span two weeks, allowing for a gentle yet meaningful flow. You and your child will dive deeply into each topic through a lovely blend of crafts, stories, readings, hands-on activities, and more.

Here’s a closer look at the 18 themes included:

Fall Sessions

• Apples
• Leaves
• Dinosaurs
• Pumpkins
• Knights & Castles
• Feelings & Emotions

Winter Sessions

• Polar Bears
• Holidays Around the World
• Penguins
• Snow
• Ice
• The Solar System

Spring Sessions

• The Ocean
• Weather
• Rainbows
• Musical Instruments
• Hummingbirds
• Gardening

Let’s take a closer look at some of the skills covered in each of these themes and some sneak peek examples!

Kindergarten at Home Skills Covered

Literacy Focus 

The literacy activities are focused on letters and sounds. Your child will work their way through all of the letters in a very special order, preparing them for a successful reading experience as we go through the curriculum.

A sweet example is from the Apple theme, where your child will create their own apple name puzzle. This is an excellent way for your child to learn the letters in their name and how to spell it! 

Math and Numeracy Focus

The numeracy activities in the kindergarten homeschool curriculum focus on building a strong understanding of numbers and what they represent and mean. Building a strong numerical understanding is the key to all future math learning. These foundational skills will build slowly throughout the year as we work through all core skills.

Your child will play fun games and enjoy word problems using numbers and counting, such as a pom pom toss—counting how many they get into a bowl—or guessing how many steps it will take to get to the end of your driveway.

Health and Wellness Focus

We want to ensure that our children know that their mental and physical health deserves just as much attention as we devote to more traditional academic skills. Health activities include everything from healthy eating to meditation and learning about our emotions.

In the Feelings and Emotions theme, your child will be introduced to a bedtime gratitude journal. This is something that will help inspire positivity and feelings of happiness.

Nature, Science, and Outdoor Learning

Nature-based activities—whether done indoors or outdoors—are all about helping children connect with the world around them. Giving kids the chance to explore nature not only boosts physical activity and supports mental well-being but also sparks curiosity, encourages discovery, and deepens learning.

Outdoor education activities are woven throughout the entire kindergarten curriculum. These activities focus on developing important physical skills like balance, crossing the midline, and strengthening gross motor muscles—all while keeping little bodies active and healthy through movement and play.

Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving, and STEM Challenges

I believe the world no longer requires children to memorize rote facts and information. What the world needs is more critical thinkers and problem solvers. This part of the curriculum develops these skills from simple building challenges that encourage out-of-the-box thinking and creativity, to discussion questions to dive into together.

Let’s put their creativity and innovation to the test with fun and educational activities like this popsicle stick catapult!

And there are even more skills and experiences taught throughout! You’ll also find optional activities and resources you can mix and match to suit your family’s rhythm and interests, including:

• A short story and a poem for each theme
• Recommended books to check out from the library
• Quiet time activities
• Creative art projects
• Fun cooking projects
• And beautiful, ready-to-use printables

As we begin this exciting kindergarten homeschool curriculum, it’s important to remember the value of slowing down. By moving at a gentle pace, we create space for curiosity, welcome the questions that naturally arise, and include our children in the rhythm of everyday life. After all, some of the richest learning happens during simple moments—through chores, errands, and daily experiences shared together.
