I can answer questions about pros and cons, socialization, statistics, methods, curriculum, support, activities, and homeschooling preschool. I cannot answer specific questions about homeschool laws, but I can point you in the right direction. Deciding to homeschool is one of the BEST decisions I've made as a parent, and I would love to share my knowledge with you!
I am homeschooling mom of three. I am so passionate about encouraging others to homeschool that I created a website that gives free information to new and experienced homeschoolers!

I graduated summa cum laude from The University of Texas at Dallas.
Homeschooling gives children and families an opportunity to thrive. My homeschool motto is, "Every child flourishes in the right environment!"
I would like to continue learning more about specific laws and requirements for each state, and learn more about international homeschooling.
Statistically, homeschoolers outperform public school students both academically and socially.

Hi Melody! Here is some general information about the Individualized Home Instruction Plan that is required in your state: http://www.nyhen.org/SED-QA.htm#IHIP http://homeschooling.families.com/blog/ihips-quarterlies-and-attendance-oh-my-pa
When choosing curriculum, I think the best place to start is to think about how your kids learn, what you want to teach them, and how you want to teach them. What are your children's learning styles?
Hi Emily! I think it is great that you are taking the time to consider the needs of each one of your children. Children are unique individuals and what works well for one may not work well for another
Hi Lauren, Partial homeschooling is a great option if it is offered by your local school district. However, New York is one of the more strict states in terms of homeschooling laws, so it may be difficult
