Welcome!
Look up your state laws. Make sure you are in compliance. I like this site rather than HSLDA http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/directory/Legalities.htm
For young ones you don't need to do much. Let them play. Let them help you, clean, cook, grow a garden. Take them to the park, read to them, let them play educational games on the computer, go to the library, go to activities like story time at the library for free, pick out books, games and movies there.
At the end of the year I'd get POC4U to aide this. http://www.edudps.com/poc4u.html
It will tell you what level the six year old is on in various subjects, the best learning styles, how best to learn or teach to those styles and then suggest curriculum. It helped up out so much.
I like literature based things so I'd probably consider five in a row, http://fiveinarow.com/ I would not buy the books just the manual $35.00 and get the books at the library. Then I'd just see how we liked the program before getting anymore. I might also get a math program like making math meaningful http://www.cornerstonecurriculum.com/Curriculum/MMM/l101.htm
or maybe something on the computer that is an early level and fun.
