What should my child know by the end of preschool? I'm a homeschooler or a concerned parent... what should my child be learning to stay "on track"? This is a list of preschool expectations that I created to keep my own children moving forward through our homeshooling journey. It is both realistic and challenging and includes a wide range of skills from academic to social and cultural skills. Every child and family are different, so feel free to customize to your own child's needs.
