Torontokids, when I said it isn't rocket science I didn't mean it as any kind of insult, I meant it as a joke. I meant that we should keep it really simple, super simple. I started my daycare working way too hard and cut crafts down to 1 a week usually, sometimes in the summer we are outside every day and we don't get any crafts done. I've really learned to go with the flow. I agree that you should give yourself a break and your routines will fall into place with time and practice.
