I want to know when I can start haomeschooling my daughter she is 3 but, is already learning what you do in 1st grade. I use to be a aide in a dayschool( it's kind of like preschool but, a bit diffrent) but, when ca I start is it too early to start now? I'm have a mild form of desexlia(with both numbers and words) this would not hurt anything or should I send her to private school . I do not like the public school systems in pour area .

My advice is to seek counseling from local services. They may be aware of options that are available to you.

Learning is a life long experience at these younger ages let kids be kids and don't push them too fast, so you get them to graduate high school at 12, is that really a good thing.

But you can teach them things they need to know, then when they become school age you can do placement testing to find the better grade, to move them up a class or two, esp if home schooling.

This I know and I never push anything on her, she just lokes to learn and I make most of it a game where she don't know that she is learning. She is starting to add and subtract. She came up to me and said mommy look , and laied down 3 pecies of apple, and said if I eat 2 then I have 1. I didn't even know she knew anything about that. I know that she needs to be around other children, this is why I'm thinking about private school, I don't want to overly push her but, I don't want her not to push her a bit to learn . I just want more for my child then I ever got from what bit of mother that I did have. Pleas don't think I'm am being rude because I am not, it is just a long story.

A 3 year old learning 1st grade material is highly doubtful she is not ready

That is what she is learning. I use to be a teachers aide for 1st grade and use to to other things with a school system.
She is starting to read also. I am not manking this up , I know every parent think thie child is the best smartedt... but, she is doing what I stated I have no reason to lie, I'm not being rude or nothing, but, oh well.

If she is advanced as you claim she deserves to be educated at a school setting so she can reach her full potential
