General philosophy
At this age, while it is important to lay the groundwork for later structured learning (especially in the 3 R's), it is especially important to let a child discover their own interests and passions. A motivated child is much more willing to learn than an unmotivated one! The joys of learning should be stressed at this age, and detours from the main stream of learning should not necessarily be discouraged. A last important note is foreign language - the earlier a child can begin to learn a language, the easier it will be to pick it up. Learning from a native speaker is best, and learning in a group informal setting is excellent at this age. Learning a language is not necessarily "school" here, but the foundation it lays for future learning is invaluable. Lastly, it is hard for a child of this age to distinguish between different subjects - you may find that learning math in two languages or learning science through history become imperatives as a curious child continues to question everything around them.
