I have home-schooled for 14 years, and with on and off baby-sitting, and for the past three years with a registered, full-time daycare. I have been the teacher and made/followed lesson plans as well as video-schooled. My two younger daughters in 9th and 1st grade are using the A-Beka video program and we all love it. I am in my third year with A-Beka video and my only regret is that my two older children missed out on it. Using the video program allows me to keep up with school and be attentive the daycare and home. There is still plenty of interaction by going over homework, giving and grading quizzes and tests, subject conversations, and help whenever it is needed. Yesterday we took the day off and took the babies to the craft store so my older daughter could pick out flowers for bouquets for the church sanctuary; she is interested in being a florist.
Hope this helps!
