Getting Your Home Preschool Ready for the New Year

I remember when I was a young mom and I couldn’t wait to begin homeschooling my baby when he was old enough! There is just something about sitting down and reading to your little one and watching them learn that is so exciting!There is really no need for formal preschool or schooling at such a young age, but it is nice to have somewhat of a routine with learning activities if you are a stay at home mom. If your little one is old enough to start preschool this year, you may be wondering just what you need to do to get your home ready. There are many different things you can do and ways to plan for your new homeschool year.

Here are some of my favorite ideas, as well as free printables to help you get started:
