Home Educating Young ChildrenTechnically we're not officially home educating our children until they reach compulsory school age and need to be either enrolled and attending school or registered for home education. This is typically at around six years of age, though there is some variance from state to state within Australia. Most children, however, can enrol and start attending school from five years of age, plus with preschool education becoming more common in public schools, from as young as three. Many of us consider that we've been educating our children from birth and that learning is a continuous process that doesn't need to be interrupted or described in 'year levels' or 'grades'. We're just identify and meeting our children's educational and developmental needs as they unfold day by day. Here is a growing list of articles on how you can help your younger children learn, with lots of tips and suggestions. See Contents for a list of all the categories of articles on this site.
