Yes! Parents are their children’s first teachers in many regards. You’re already playing with your child, and transitioning to learning-based play is a natural flow. Parents can’t, however, replace the social interaction or social skill opportunities children gain in brick-and-mortar preschools. If you’re schooling at home, make sure your child has regular playdates with other children in your neighborhood and frequent trips to the playground, and look for other groups of home educators.;
