I home school using a Christian curriculum called ACE, it's a k-12 curriculum designed for use in both schools and homeschooling. It's used by millions of people world-wide with the curriculum tailored for each individual country. The schoolwork comes in small booklets called PACEs; I went to school in for two years and found that the ACE material was more than up to standard with the work in the private school that I went to. I was actually ahead of the students there... I'm in year 12 now, and would suggest ACE to anyone looking for a Christian, k-12, home school curriculum. There are quite a few providers for ACE, it's just a matter of deciding which one is for you! :) If you google Accelerated Christian Education or ACE you should come up with some more in depth info. :)
Oh, and as for payment, with most providers you pay by the PACEs (workbooks) as you buy them. :)
If your daughter is the type who likes books, do Sonlight. This uses lots of interesting books to read (stories that give information), otherwise known as "living books". It has a lesson plan already written out for the teacher. When you buy the program, you get everything you need. You can also buy it with a payment plan, and it has a good satisfaction guarantee.
If your d is more interested in activities and making things, use My Father's World Kindergarten. This is a very good program, with a variety of activities included. It is not all book-work, but uses other methods for teaching. The child learns to read 3 and 4 letter words, and learns place value for math, amongst many other things, including the creation story.
I suggest starting Math-U-See Primer, or AL Abacus.
Try Bob Jones BJU Press. They are one of the most popular. You can get the books used. If you want you can also use their video lessons. I believe you put a down payment down and can make monthly payments. Try http://www.enchantednotionsbooks.com/ for used homeschooling books.
You can try the grace academy for your kids. What I like about it is their quality & the learning by videos & games; which the kids like very much & can learn so easily.
