I work 4 days per week and start business activities during the afternoon usually at 11:30a.m-12:30pm I start my business. Therefore during the am 7a.m-11:30a.m is strictly for educating my child(ren). Homeschoolers only need 3-5 hours of instruction daily–and one great program is A Beka Academy they have the learning on DVD taught by certified teachers. I simply spend 1 hour daily with review/reinforcement of what is to be learned daily.

Once your child is in the 1rst grade–the afternoon should be spent with solo homework/quizz taking activities. (Reading/Writing) for at least 2 hours daily.

**So basically I feel if your business schedule is mostly afternoon and some evenings—homeschooling can fit very nicely in the schedule.

In addition weekends Fri-Sunday having off from all activities is the best–so that everyone can take breaks and have time to do fun activities. For example Fri is a good time for Library, Tutoring, Field Trips etc..and the rest of the weekend just good old family time.

I will say that a homeschool & business mom has to be very organized.
