Brightly Beaming Resources
Brightly Beaming is an awesome website that provides an entire free curriculum for kids between the ages of 2 to 8 but they are also working on curriculum for higher grade levels.
I love this program for preschool and plan to use some of the ideas from there like the book list to supplement what I’ve already planned out for her in my best preschool homeschool curriculum article.
There is even a preparatory curriculum for kids that could be used before the preschool curriculum if you want to start with that first.

Core Knowledge
This company wrote the book, What Your Preschooler Needs To Know (see it here), and other books in the series ,such as Kindergartener, First Grader and such.
Although I have this book and plan to use it with my preschooler, they also have a completely free homeschool curriculum on their site for every grade level and subject matter, with the exception of Math.
I like the free Core Knowledge curriculum for all the grades except preschool. I much prefer to use the What your Preschooler Needs To Know book along with the interactive activity books they also created, which are amazing! I talked more about them in my best preschool curriculum article.

I love this site. There are so many free printables and I was especially pleased when I came across the free curriculum for reading.
This is perfect for the preschool age with various activities to keep your preschooler busy.
They have both a ‘learning the alphabet’ pack and also a ‘reading the alphabet’ 31-week free curriculum.

They also offer a paid premium account which allows for more teacher control of the curriculum such as student activity reports and answer keys.

Core Knowledge
They offer a lot of value in this free curriculum for homeschoolers. You will find various subject mattes and they are still adding more subjects such as music and visual arts.
Although you have to access the curriculum online, you can simply print everything to be used offline. It will be a lot of pages to print so I recommend instead to go through the curriculum on a tablet or desktop computer with your child and only print out the pages that your child will have to complete in writing.
You will need to add a Math Curriculum but you will find all the other core subjects available.
