My state is 6yo on Sept 1st, so my Novemeber boy was almost 7 when we officially started school. Before that is just natural learning/parenting, field trips, games, playing etc. I'm doing hte same with DD who is only 5yo also with a November bday. So, officially, she has until the fall of next year before I have to count her as doing school, but she's definitely learning long before that!

I usually incorporate learning into everyday stuff. Like the kids always like it when I sing silly made up songs. For example, when diaper changing, I narrate what I'm doing, point out things in the mirror, name body parts, modify the hoky poky song to getting dressed etc. Then as the kids got older, I just kept singing and pointing things out, etc. Now the older kids ask lots of questions and I spend lots of time showing, explaining and sometimes doing the things that they are curious about.
