Since I have this question anyways and it might help Dodge as well with her question. How many of you offer preschool curriculum in your daycare? is it informal as in we sing abc's etc learn our colours or do you purchase and follow real preschool curriculums or homeschool packages?

i was thinking of offering preschool curriculum when I open. Does everyone do that? Does everyone have expensive programs they follow so me saying we learn to count to 10, sing abc's etc isn't enough cause lots of daycares have "real" programs out there? i have no idea what other daycares do. Do i need to follow official preschool programs to be competitive.

dodge - this question I have anyways might help you in finding out how many daycare providers already offer preschool curriculums within thier daycares. I have no idea. Maybe they all do anyways or maybe just a few select in which case you might have better luck with opening a preschool.
