For those who love the idea of homeschooling, but prefer to work under an umbrella school, there are distance-learning programs for children of all ages. Specifically, parents have opportunities to enroll their children right from their child’s Kindergarten year. Here are some options and information to consider:
- The Journal: Kindergarten Goes Vitual
- Kindergarten Connection: K-Connect
- Doctorate in Kindergarten + Preschool Education and Teaching
- About.com: Homeschooling
Keep in mind that many of these distance-learning programs require tuition fees, as well as the following of a pre-planned academic syllabus. This set up is very similar to a typical classroom setting, except the work is completed on your own time throughout the day. Deadlines for testing, as well as weekly completion of assignments is enforced by the individual instructors of each distance-learning course taken.
