At what age did you start homeschooling definitively, with a schedule and a curriculum. I know they say kids learn through play and that’s what I’ve been doing especially with my 3yr old since she turned 20 months. I still feel like I’m doing it wrong and she’s not unlocking her full learning potential. My husban...

I’m not sure where to begin. I start homeschooling this year for my daughter who’s in preschool. The state we moved to doesn’t recognize preschool but she really wanted to do school.

Do any of you have a baby sitter you recommend or how do I go about finding someone trustworthy? My son is 18 months and I’ve never left him with anyone other than his dad or my sister and this is not very often at all.
