Hi! I'm pretty much like you gymmom in that drop off, meals and pick up are routine but hats about it! I make it very clear to parents that I will not provide them with a written schedule. I really prefer to go with the flow of the group. Maybe I've been lucky with the kids I have but it always works just fine. I almost never have a set circle time. We sing songs, read books etc. throughout the day. I use ball games, group building blocks etc. when i feel the group losing some steam.
