A Day in our Life: Homeschooling a Preschooler

One of the biggest questions we get (right after “what about socialization?”) is “what do you do all day?”

Today we are answering the question, by showing you what a typical home day looks like for us, homeschooling a preschooler and a toddler in tow.

This is what I call “a home day”. We have a home day about 2-3 days a week. These are the days when we do some seat work, read lots of books and have lots of free, imaginative play. The other 3-4 days a week, we spend a good chunk of the morning out, usually at a playgroup, church or running errands and going to appointments.

But, on a home day, we spend most of the day at home. We might run to the store or our local library for a few minutes, but the rest of the day is spent at home.

This is typical for us. Some might be surprised at how little seat work we do in a day. But we believe in having a lot of real world experiences and hands-on learning. So between imaginative play, baking, chores and games, it’s a full day of learning.
