Freebies For The Whole Family

It’s no secret that free resources for homeschoolers exist. The question is, where can you find them? This post will break down some of the most well-known FREE homeschool resource providers for you and your family!

All-In-One Curriculum Providers

These providers offer full programs across multiple subjects and grade levels. This option is great for caregivers that want an open-and-go type of curriculum.

Keep in mind, that it’s difficult for a provider to excel at producing quality content across every subject. I have yet to find an all-in-one program that worked flawlessly for our family, but it’s definitely worth a try! You may find one that meets most of your needs, in which case you’ll only have to supplement a couple individual subjects. I think that’s a win!

Here are my top all-in-one FREE curriculum providers:

• Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool is a Christian-based, complete K–12 curriculum with day-by-day lessons.
• Ambleside Online is a Charlotte Mason-style curriculum using living books (Christian worldview).
• Freedom Homeschooling has a massive directory of free curriculum by subject and grade.
• Under the Home is a secular, Charlotte Mason-inspired curriculum for grades K–5.
• Plain and Not So Plain a Christian printable curriculum with a minimalist approach.
• Mater Amabilis is a Catholic Charlotte Mason curriculum for preschool through high school.
• Discovery K12 is a secular online curriculum for K–12 with daily assignments.

How To Implement Your Free Resources

If you’re set on using free resources for your homeschooling experience, I commend your commitment! While there is a level of convenience to the pre-organized curriculum for purchase, there is definite value in the freebies.

With a little time and organization, you can compile your free resources into a well-rounded curriculum that will last all year long. Here’s some tips for getting started:

1. Create a Digital Homeschool Binder

Use a cloud platform like Google Drive or OneDrive to create folders by:

• Grade level (e.g., Preschool, K–2, 3–5…)
• Subject (Math, Language Arts, Science, etc.)
• Format (Worksheets, Videos, Projects, Unit Studies)

You can color-code folders or use emojis in titles to help with quick scanning.

2. Use a Master Curriculum Map

Build a master spreadsheet (Google Sheets or Excel) to:

• Map subjects across the year
• Note which resources you’ll use and when
• Link directly to websites or PDFs
• Add columns for standards alignment and developmental goals

Bonus Tip: Freeze the top row for easy navigation and sort by week/month.

3. Build Lesson Plan Templates

A reusable lesson plan format helps keep things consistent and quick to prep. Example fields:

• Objective (linked to developmental or state standards)
• Materials (with links)
• Procedure (detailed or flexible)
• Adaptations (for different abilities)
• Assessment ideas (optional for reflection)

4. Tag & Bookmark Strategically

Use a digital note tool like Notion, Trello, or Evernote to:

• Tag resources by theme (e.g., “spring crafts,” “sensory play”)
• Track what you’ve used already vs. what’s planned
• Add reflections about what worked (great for blogging later!)

5. Align with Weekly/Monthly Themes

Especially for early childhood and inclusive settings, grouping resources around themes (like “Community Helpers” or “Rainforest”) adds cohesion:

• Pull in relevant read-alouds, art projects, science observations, etc.
• Helps structure interdisciplinary units

6. Create Quick-Access Lists

Keep printable or digital quick-reference lists handy for:

• Go-to rainy day activities
• “Independent Work” options
• Low-prep crafts and recipes

This makes subbing in last-minute changes much less stressful.
