You can start to “homeschool” almost immediately,
you just take responsibility for educating your child.
You start with basics and advance them as they are ready.

My 3 yr old is learning phonics and has started to read.
Of course she already knows all the colors, shapes, numbers to 100, ABC’s, etc.

It’s really quite rewarding to teach them yourself.

Agreed. I have been teaching my 6 yr old to recognized sequences and patterns, algebra substitutions, etc. Things like this:

x=(2+1)
y=(1+3)
What is x+y? y-x?

I keep wanting to jump into quadratic equations but he's just a first grader so have to keep things kinda simple for a bit longer...
