Top 10 Ideas Checklist For Creating A Homeschool Daily Schedule For A Successful Homeschool

When I was homeschooling my child due to the pandemic, I struggled initially because I didn’t ink down a homeschool daily schedule.

I had no idea what I was supposed to do to start off the school day. Neither did I have any idea what curriculum I was to cover throughout the school day.

The worst situation I found myself in was that I had genuinely thought that I had to homeschool my preschool child the exact number of hours he was subject to in regular school.

Well, all hell broke loose and I was left with a disgruntled child with oodles of pent-up energy but nowhere to vent, and a terribly grouchy me.

After doing some research online on how to structure my “homeschool” to run more smartly and efficiently, I decided to come up with a daily homeschool schedule using my homeschooling planner. And that really helped me in running a smooth homeschool during those crazy times.

I was homeschooling just one child and I was going mental. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been for parents with more than one child. Deciding on a homeschool daily schedule that works equally well for you and your children can be a tough job.

Top 10 Ideas For Creating A Homeschool Daily Schedule

But with proper time management, coordination, and the cooperation of your family, you can create a balanced homeschool schedule. To help you in this matter, I present to you my top 10 ideas checklist for creating a homeschool daily schedule for a successful homeschool.

1. Plan your homeschool schedule around your work schedule. Choose the time, tasks, and activities that you will easily be able to manage along with your work.
2. Take your children’s routine and needs into consideration. Give them enough time for fun-filled activities.
3. Be consistent but also leave room for flexibility. If your children are really not in the mood to do heavy learning, leave it for another day.
4. You don’t exactly have to follow the standard, state school curriculum. You can give them extra knowledge.
5. Follow a schedule that works for your family. Take lunch breaks at the same time as you would otherwise.
6. Include all your children’s personal interests in the homeschool schedule.
7. Include interactive learning and learning through play in the homeschool schedule.
8. Dismiss your children early so that they can have some time for themselves.
9. Make sure to include physical exercise in their homeschool schedule.
10. Keep in mind that it will be a constant trial and error method. You will have to improvise the homeschool schedule as per your children’s individual needs and their progress.

When the going gets tough in your homeschool, sit down and plan for success.
