I have an older daughter in public school and I don’t care for the things that go on there.
I have 2 younger daughters. My 4 year old is going to be starting pre-k this coming year. How can I get started homeschooling? Is there grants or state financing available to help with schooling. I apologize I am very new at this.
Thank you all for your answers. The 10 points should go to all of you.
Well, the first step to getting started is to research your state’s laws. You can find a summary of laws for your state at http://www.hslda.org
The next step would be to decide how you want to teach your daughter and what you want to use. There are a variety of programs that cater to different learning styles and teaching preferences.
Here’s a description of the types of homeschooling methods:

I don’t know of any grants or financing that are available, but some states have virtual public school programs that you can use for free. There are many pros and cons to these programs which are described here:

If you do not want to use that option, you can find ways to save money on curriculum and homeschool very inexpensively. Here are some tips for affordable homeschooling:

To my knowledge there are no grants or financing available for homeschooling. They don’t like making it easy on us;) I know most people save their tax refunds and use those to buy curriculum. Here are some good websites to start with. They all have good tried and true curriculums.
