Question: What is a good Homeschool Preschool Curriculum to use?

I have a 4 year old who I do not send to preschool or a mother's day out program. I feel right now free play is the best thing for her and just letting her explore, be a kid and learn things by watching me at home. However, I have been thinking that maybe I will start doing an hour of "school" each day with her. Is there a good curriculum that you would recommend for a preschool age? I am a former teacher, so I am capable of doing things on my own, but I also like the idea of following already made plan. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Answer: I would limit the amount of workbooks that you do at age four. Some is fine, but you don't want to burn her out from too much formal education too young. I like Rod and Staff's workbooks, they are inexpensive and children enjoy doing a page or two per day. http://www.rodandstaffbooks.com/list/Rod_and_Staff_Preschool/

I also really like Letter of the Week, which is a fairly complete free online preschool program. http://letteroftheweek.com/
