Plan out the curriculum you will be using. Decide whether you will use teacher-created resources or create your own tools to use at home. Determine what skills you would like to have your child learn for the year. When you plan out your year, you are able to make sure you allocate time for all of the areas you would like to instruct.
Gather materials, such as magnetic letters, easy phonics readers, lap whiteboards and colorful blocks. These resources can be found at your local teaching supply store or through online retailers.
Block out schoolwork in 15-minute segments. Preschoolers do not have long attention spans, so activities should change frequently to keep your child's mind actively involved.
Design lessons to teach your child about letters, letter sounds, writing skills, reading, counting and patterning. These are the key subject areas that a local preschool would likely focus on.
Allow time for exploration and play. Plan time for your child to cook or to garden with you. Encourage your child to be curious and investigate.
Schedule times to go on field trips. Plan to go to the fire station so you can learn about safety and community helpers. Go to the zoo to learn about animals and their habitats.
Schedule times for your child to have play dates and interaction with other preschoolers. Involve your child with others, so he can develop interpersonal skills. He will be challenged to share and interact when playing with his peers.
