Recommend me some highly structured home schooling lesson plans!

I’m looking for home-schooling lesson plans (for a 4 year old and a 7 year old) that tell me exactly what to do.
Back when I used to teach ESL, I was given a curriculum that laid out in excruciating detail how we were supposed to teach the accompanying material. It specified the pre-classroom setup, introductory explanations/set induction, activities, resolution, and homework.
I’m looking for that, but, you know, for kids.
Context: with the kids at home for the foreseeable future, we’ve apparently become home schoolers. I’d like to keep them busy and engaged, and I’m complexity untrained for this. I’m willing to follow directions though, and I’m looking for teaching material that will direct me.
I’m happy to pay for quality materials. My kids are 4 and 7.
What’s NOT helpful:
* Links to websites with free worksheets. Worksheets aren’t helpful on their own, unless they come with curriculum and lesson plans. Also the sheer amount of stuff like this is overwhelming for me. I need something curated and pre-planned that I can execute.

Have you mined Teachers Pay Teachers yet? I teach secondary, but sellers often have entire unit plans for sale that lay everything out in detail. Perhaps sellers have the same for primary?

Khan Academy has a full day schedule starting at kindergarten and up. That page also links to their fb and youtube where they are going to be doing daily livestreams to help folks navigate this.

My friend publishes a Waldorf-inspired homeschool curriculum for grades K-3. I don't know if it will be prescriptive enough for you, but it's exactly the kind of thing I'd be doing if my kids were younger.
