A Day In The Life Of…’My Early Years’
The timetable below is simply a guide to how our days can look in home education. Every family approaches this differently, and no two days are ever exactly the same.
For us, home education goes beyond the idea of “school at home.” It is part of a child’s tarbiyyah—their overall cultivation—taking place through everyday moments, interactions, and experiences between parent and child, wherever that may be.
In the early years especially, much of our day revolved around a balance of free play and gently planned activities, ensuring I support all areas of my child’s development (as outlined on the Begin Here page). Some days are varied and busy, while others are slower, allowing a deeper focus on one area.
Flexibility is key. These early years are not just about teaching, but about observing, understanding, and discovering how each child learns best. This might mean adapting activities, following their interests, or simply giving them the space to explore and grow at their own pace.

I call them my Fajr Alarms. Everyday bi’ithnillah, I wake up to their voices.

I am veryery very keen to have my 3 and 4 year old start memorising different things. i know they can cos i have taught them some quran which they know very well masha Allah. question is which ahaadeeth or evidences etc should they be learning now?
Assalamu alaikum…
How do you adjust waking up time according to the change of time for fajr? Would children pray then sleep?
I’m guessing this is just for early years but what do you have planned for older years
JazaakAllaahu khayran
Salaamu alaikum.
As everyone may learn or adjust differently. Starting days early is great. Alhamdulilaah. Islamic studies are best for me early morning/mid day rather late at night. I also like to cook everything except dinner early in the mornings. Alhamdulilaah. All though, every day is different. That sensory hour, I would like some feedback on what you use for teaching your youngest say age 2/3…some suggestions please e-mail back me ukhti.
jazaaki Allaahu khayra.
