gcj, you are obviously a wonderful caregiver who worries about the children but I have to agree that you have done your best. You have informed the parents of your concerns and you have told them that you have tried and tried to teach certain things to their child. Hopefully they have listened to you and when the JK teacher brings it up to them they can say that their caregiver did her best.

I don't sweat it to tell you the truth because I've had children leave here with the basic knowledge of #'s and letters, colours and shapes, ect. and some don't recognize them as well as I'd like but it will come in time. The JK & SK teachers know how to bring it out in them when they are ready and they all catch up. The important part is that you are exposing them regularly to the basic concepts but don't worry about it.
