If you are teaching your preschooler at home, you have many options to choose from with your scheduling.
Here is a sample schedule for 3-5 mornings of preschool at home- allow for flexibility!
• Wake Up
• Breakfast
• Have get dressed and tend to personal care (brush teeth, brush hair, wash face)
• Read a story and have the child retell the story to you (10-15 minutes)
• Allow the child to choose what to play with inside or out, read books, or color/draw/write (20-30 minutes)
• Craft time (20-30 minutes)
• Outside Play (30-45 minutes)
• Chores (10-15 minutes)
• Lunch
• Look at books for quiet time
• Child chooses activity from planned list (details later)
• As the day progresses, ask reminder questions about things that have happened through the day. You may even want to keep a journal and write down things that were said and have the child draw a picture.
• Dance or sing to a cd or make up your own songs.
• Dinner
• Get ready for bed, brush teeth, change clothes.
• Read books before bedtime.
Watch this week for more scheduling ideas.

Isn't it great the way we can use eveyday routines to teach our children!!! I wish more parents realized that parents are always teaching their children, even if they are school aged.
I think this is a great idea, however I didn't see anything that allows for interacting with other children. If you haven't done so already, I suggest making time at LEAST three times a week to spend with other children who are close to the same age as your child/children. It's a vital part of their development to learn how to interact with others.
With my children, we did friends events for outside play or just did not follow a schedule on play dates day. We also participate in MOPS, go to the children's museum, and we do a lot of playing with cousins. Thanks for the suggestion. Remember this is a 3-5 day schedule AND BE FLEXIBLE!
