Homeschooling ?

[playfelt]

You may have missed them for this year but there are homeschool conferences held each spring where speakers present, companies have curriculum for sale and you get to interact with other homeschooling families. You would get a lot of info to help you make your decision.

Also consider what the starting age is in your province. In Ontario for instance a child does not have to attend school till they are six. Therefore you could consider trying the homeschool for the kindergarten year, see how your child does with having to do "school" work and get a handle on what kind of learners they are. A child that craves learning in a group and interacting does not do as well as a child that can settle to concentrate on a topic for an extended period of time. There is a blog I have followed for daycare ideas called confessions of a homeschooler and she has several children at different levels and created a homeschool classroom setup and as I said some of her ideas are great for daycare too.
