I had homeschooling and I really don't advise it. It gets boring and then he might not finish. In my case I did not finish. I think it is better of going to  Public School or even better a Catholic School.

PreK age is a great place to start because you don't have to legally do anything and its a great time to try out homeschooling to see if it fits your family for later years. I would suggest becoming involved with a homeschooling group for support in case you decide to continue for K.\n  PreK can be a lot of fun.  Keep worksheets to a minimum(if at all) and concentrate on lots of hands on, discovery learning, messy crafts, nature walks, etc.  Read out loud a ton of picture books on a variety of topics.  Take the time to point out letters in the titles and later see if you child can pick out certain letters.  Make a number line on the driveway or on your stairs and have your child jump to certain numbers.  Do simple addition and subtraction with a variety of small toys or food.  Look at things with a magnifying glass.  Study space  and other themes.  Cook and play with measuring cups and spoons in water or beans. Play letter or number matching games, make letter puppets that say their sounds. Trace letters in pudding or mud. Graph m+m's, match leaves, grow frogs and butterflies...the list goes on and on.  It is so much  fun!  You will be amazed at the results!! \n  If you do decide to homeschool for elementary, check out your state homeschooling guidelines.  In our state, we fill out a paper notifying the school and we need to prove progress in math and language arts.  Progress can be proved by a national test in our home once a year or by a portfolio we create demonstrating progress.  Social studies and science are wide open and can follow a student's interests and don't have to be tested.  Some states don't require any testing, others have more specific requirements. ---

Homeschooling is the best.  Private school would be your next best choice if you can afford it.  There are many free resources for homeschooling. Try your local library for books about it and materials to use.  I would also recommend reading the book "A Thomas Jefferson Education" by Oliver DeMille.  You can buy it at gwc.edu in the bookstore section.  Believe me, it's worth the $15 or $20, even if you decide not to home school.

If I were to teach Kids for one day, I would teach them Homesty, Manners, and respect.  These are things that are needed to start the building of a educated and well rounded person.\nCarson

As a homeschool graduate myself, I know you all are going through a lot.  It's hard to keep things together, especially if you are living on one income, like my family did.  I just want to encourage you to keep up the fight- for whatever reason you are homeschooling.  I wouldn't trade my homeschooled years for anything.  As far as homeschooling and working a full-time job, please, do whatever you can as far as putting your family on a budget, cutting back on superfluous spending and so forth, before you go out and get another job.  Part of the beauty of homeschooling is being able to spend those critical years with your children- and if you're working full-time, it's very difficult to do everything that needs to be done, let alone find time for any extracurricular activity.  The last thing you want is for you family to struggle because you don't have enough time for each other (hubby included). Let your younger children started doing chores around the house.  Your older children can help out there, too.  My mom worked cleaning houses and apartment complexes while my siblings and I were growing up, and we helped her do and earned a little money of our own on the side.  All of us worked at some sort of job outside the home by the time we were 14 years of age- some people may think that was awful that we had to do that, but some of the best lessons I ever learned, I learned on the job.  It's also a great way to teach good work ethics, honesty, reliability, dedication, etc, by EXAMPLE.  It's a better teacher than any lecture.  Best wishes to you as you continue your journey. :)

Go with the church school - although if they are doing all the teaching I'm not sure how they qualify as a homeschool.  If they are ahead of their grade level at their current school, what's stopping them from being ahead in the church one?

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

Go to http://hslda.org  They promote LEGAL, RESPONSIBLE homeschooling.  You can find out what is required to legally homeschool your child in your state.  The laws are different in every one, but it is legal everywhere in the USA.  Especially find out what the "compulsory school age" is in your state.  That is the age that you need to either put your child in public school or offically home school your son.  You may not be required to do anything official until he is 6.  Then you can just keep up the good work until then.  Include your little one in the reading, but otherwise, simply allow your youngest to play quietly or nap while you have school time with the older one.  With homeschooling, your scedule is very flexible, so do what works for you!   \n\nIf you do need/want a curriculum, there is an ocean of curriculums out there, and it can be intimidating to wade through them.  I would recommend starting with a guide by either Mary Pride or Cathy Duffy.  They are experienced homeschoolers that review curriculums and publish their well-informed opinions about them.  Look for books and websites by them.  After choosing a curriculum, you can often get used books on e-bay, and several websites like www.christianbook.com have good prices on new curriculum.

You have gotten the basic answers so far, but the easiest way to find out about homeschooling for your area is to find a local group and talk to them.  They will give you all kinds of help.  The range is wide on how people homeschool from unschooling to traditional homeschooling and everything in between.  There are tons of sites online as well as books to you can but or borrow from the library
