If you go to www.google.com and search home schooling, you can find a variety of basic curriculums for students in math, science, english and social studies. This will give her the basics so that she won't get behind.

You should be able to contact the State Department of Education for guidance in providing what ou need for setting up an organization or umbrella program for these types of needs.  A local Christian school might be a great alternative to begin researching your questions and needs as well.  You might also consider a Teacher's Resource outlet store in your area as they may have all the materials you would need to begin the process.  Just some ideas.  May God bless your endeavors.

Check out Princeton's links for homeschool as well as all the other resources on their site. Good luck.

Go to your school district central office. Also, look around in your area for homeschooling parent organizations.

Start at HSLDA's website (http://www.hslda.org) and look up the laws in your state.  Look for a homeschool support group in your area - you'll be able to talk with people "in the trenches" and find out about their experiences with the local school system, family (especially grandparents), friends, socialization, co-ops...\n\nLook in your library for books about homeschooling - there's lots of different approaches - classical/Charlotte Mason, unschooling, ...  This will help you determine what type of curriculum you will be looking for (if any).\n\nFor now, just read to your baby!  I read to my older son when he was a baby and he's an avid reader now (at 11 years old).

If you want to connect with other home school families I have found the library is a great place to start. Talk to the librarians. Most of the time they will know of the home school families. They may have a contact name and/or number. If you are concerned about social skills get them involved in activities and church. \nIf you are looking for curriculum do a search and start researching what would be best for you children. Also try EBay to help with the budget.

From my homeschooling days, I did not remember hearing the term AEC, so I googled it.  You've got the letters transposed.  It should be ACE Homeschool Curriculum.  Google that and see everything that comes up.  Good Luck.

Call or visit the School District offices in the area you live in.  If they haven't been in the School District before you will probably have to document immunizations and health histories.  Proof of identification and proof of residence also will be needed.  \n\nIf the children had previously been attending that School Districts Elementary or Middle School, ask to meet with that schools Guidance Counselor or Principle.  They will be able to provide you with information as to how the child is doing academically and possible courses of interest during the next School Year.

I went to homeschool.com\n\nThey have a getting started kit, that includes a book with guidelines for the laws in every state and information on the different options you have for homeschool education - working with a local school, interenet curriculums, unschooling, you name it. \n\nThere are lots of these types of organizations out there to help our growing population of homeschoolers.  In my state, California, they even have a California Home School Group\n(http://californiahomeschool.net/default.htm)  You might have something similar in your area.\n\nPeace!
