Six is very young. When my DYS was that age, we did virtually no formal academics. She did spend some time on time4learning.com. (Which utilizes compass learning products, IIR.) That helped her learn to read, but the math was much too easy and boring and we simply stopped it after a few months. What did we do? Took weekly trips to the science or natural history museums. Walked in the woods and collected rocks or leaves. Spent hours playing with friends. Went to the library and checked out at loads of books. Listened to hours and hours of audiobooks in the car. Waded in the creek. Raised monarch butterflies. Hung out in China town. Took a road trio to DC to see the terra cotta warrior exhibit. Hosted our own Chinese New Year feast. Made our own mead. Measured the length of a Viking longship in our backyard. Mummified a chicken. Grew our own crystals. Went on fossil hunting trips. Attended plays and concerts. Bowled. Swam. Learned archery. Cooked ancient Sumerian food. Wrote cuneiforms on play dough tablets. Read Gilgamesh. Read Norse mythology. Toured a piano factory. You get the idea. The great thing about homeschooling is you can really follow interest on the child, and you don't need to be bogged down by a curriculum. One thing that worked well for us was to pick a country or region of the world to study for the year. Then I would plan a lot of crafts, activities, field trips etc based on the history and culture of that place. We would get lots of books out, and watch documentaries.
