I'm of the mind that no one religion has any place in a daycare. However, it's quite nice to acknowledge different religions in various ways. At Christmas, it's nice to have discussions, books and such that teach about traditions from different cultures/religions. We also had a pet pass away (something I never hide from the kids). That was a good opportunity to talk about different ideas about what happens to the 'soul' in such a circumstance (all feel good of course). I'm a hopeful agnostic, leaning hard on atheism but never share my personal views with the children. Perhaps at meal time it's a nice idea to be thankful for the food that the earth has provided for us and so on. Religion is tricky....best not to side one way or another I think.
