Willow misses the cut off for Kindergarten in just one short year. She misses the cut off for the 2014-15 school year by 21 days. But, even knowing she will be the oldest in her class when she does start Kindergarten, I wonder if she will be ready.
I do a lot of homeschooling type things with her, even though she goes to preschool every day. Ihave been that way with all of my kids. But I am not always sure if I am doing the right things with her. Since I am not a teacher, I can teach her the basicas, but school curricula changes often and I want to make sure she is learning everything she needs to know.
I recently learned about a program that can help Willow be where she needs to be. EmbarK12 Online – Over 830 interactive activities to engage your preschooler.

I’ve heard great things about this program. I was planning on homeschooling and would have used something like this to enhance. Great educational tool.

I’ve heard really good things about this program. My youngest is in 1st grade now, so I think we may have missed the boat on this one, though 🙂
brett
oh man, we don’t homeschool but I do enrichment with all of my kids at home too and I want this set!! that’s awesome!! we love manipulatives.
my littlest is going to kinder in fall. i’m very apprehensive because it’s full day but she’s really ready go. I just wish it was 2/3 day not full
Brandy
Thanks for sharing this program, I know as my niece gets older that my sis will want all the resources she can have to help her little girl learn!
Hanan
These programs are great! If you have the time to work with them, this is a more inexpensive way (compared to preschool) to prepare them for school.

I signed up my son for Embark12 because he was going to be one of the younger ones in his Kindergarten class – it’s definitely helped him develop more skills as well as be more confident in the classroom. I’d definitely recommend!

Our littlest will be in Kindergarten next Fall, I can’t believe it either. Luckily my girls are Spring babies so go to school on time, though they’re a little ahead. Love that you’re doing programs like this with her and homeschooling a little too! She’ll be so ready!
Kristen
My son is an October baby, so he will be one of the oldest in his class too. I have heard that the older kids do really well compared to some of the babies in the class. Great products. i will have to check them out!
Tracey
Great educational tool! Thanks for sharing.

This sounds like such an awesome program. My little one is only year and a half, but I’ll have to keep this in mind when he gets a little older!
Rachael
It sounds like a great program. But the fact that she goes to preschool and you teach her at home, I’m sure she’ll be more than ready.
Demetra
With an engaged mom like you your child will have a huge head start when she gets to kindergarten. My son is one of the youngest in his class and we worked hard to make sure he was ready to go.

Great education tool. My daughter goes to Kindergarten next year and thankfully she got accepted in my sons school charter school if she didn’t I would seriously be doing homeschool
Jennifer @TheRebelChick
I’ve been hearing so many good things about K12 lately! I wish something like that had been around when my daughter was in preschool!
Triplezmom
Kids that age just love to learn so much. My littlest, who starts kindergarten this fall, is always trying to make me give him homework like his siblings. This would be fun for him to try!
April
This looks like a fun way to get kids interested in learning. At that age, they are so open to learning…..so fun!
Mandy@ TheHouseholdHero.com
Interesting. Looks like a good resource to keep in mind
Janeane Davis
There is so much that is expect from children they enter kindergarten. It is greatt you are able to do so much at home.
Chrysa
I haven’t heard of this program before. With such a big number and variety of programs it looks like it would make for great preparation.
Paige
I’ve been hearing a lot about this program! It sounds awesome!
Cassie @ Southeast by Midwest
This looks like such a good program to get a kid ready for Kindergarten. I’m going to forward this to my sister-in-law for my 4 year old niece.
Rosey
I think this is awesome. My son barely made the cutoff and was the youngest in his class. He was not ready.
Toni
What a great tool. I would have loved to have had this for my middle when he was gearing up for kindergarten!!
Debra
That’s a great question – I asked that with my son (who now is in 1st grade) and my daughter who is only 4. Programs like these help to stimulate their minds and get them ready to be in classroom.
Onica {MommyFactor}
What a great tool for parents to help get their kids ready for kindergarten. So many kids tech savvy so using will be easy.
Jenni E.
I’ve never heard of this program before! I love programs like this that helps get them ready for kindergarten. It’s always so fun to see their excitement and progress.
Kecia
I love learning about programs like this one. My son will miss the cut off by 19 days, so he will be one of the oldest in his class as well. Still, I want to make sure he is ready and we do lots of fun home-preschool stuff with him now.
Eliz Frank
If it is a great program, and it sound like it is, stay with it… The extra year makes a difference.
Ashley
My husband is in listing in the military and I have been considering ways to continue her preschool education as we move next year. This seems perfect.
janel
My kids all miss the cut off also being fall babies. I have liked them being the oldest in the class though.
