Parents of 4–6 year olds: what do you actually teach your kids at home?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.

My child is in the JK/SK age range and I started realizing that most of what they learn early on actually happens at home, not just in school.

So I started trying to do a simple 45–60 minute daily learning time with things like:

• reading together
• letter sounds
• basic numbers
• simple thinking games
• drawing / creativity

Nothing intense. Just structured time together.

The surprising thing is how much kids improve when it becomes a daily routine instead of random activities.

But I’m curious what other parents do.

Do you:

• teach reading at home?
• focus mostly on play?
• follow a curriculum?
• just let school handle everything?

I feel like there must be a simple daily structure that works best, but every parent seems to do it differently.

Would love to hear what’s working for your kids.
