Religion in the Daycare

[Momof4]

Valerie, I do agree with you that religion should be taught at home. I do know a lady who runs a very Christian daycare and she attracts her clients because of that, but we don't talk about it at my daycare either. It's exactly as you described with the fun kiddie version of holidays.

However, I don't think I'd put it in my contract or on my website. But I check with families when they are signing the contract to ask them if they are alright with us celebrating all the holidays and birthdays so that I'm respectful of the parent's wishes.

My husband and I are not really religious, which is why I want to stay away from religion in my daycare. But we do enjoy the holidays and want your children to enjoy them as well.

I also want to teach my children about accepting others for who they are and not by the colour of there skin, their beliefs or where they come from.

Reggio, I love your descriptions of your program! You definitely have a way with words I want to go to your daycare
