Where Do I Start?
I’m a mother of a 3 year old who I’m planning on home schooling, but the problem is where do I start?? Is there somewhere I can go for the "Dummies Guide" on what paperwork needs to be filled out, where to send and when this needs to be done. I would appreciate any help I can get.
