Circle or group time is my favorite part of the day but I do not even plan that in the traditional sense anymore ... I do reflect on what to put in my circle box every month in way of books that support the current interests of the group and seasonal felt board songs or stories and 'games' that might promote a skill I think someone needs and change it up accordingly along with some staples that are always there but each child gets to take a turn choosing something out of the box ... so basically they 'lead' the circle and I am just there as a support to help hold up finger puppets or books and so forth.
I would love to hear some example of what you put in a circle box!
Children are great imitators.
So give them something great to imitate.
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
