    Summer curriculum

    Hello ladies!
    Do any of you have a favourite curriculum that you guys enjoy using?
    I found playpalace.org and am VERY intrigued but it looks like they are updating their program. So I'm thinking I will give it a try for the following school year. Do you guys have any ideas of what I can use for this summer?
    I'm looking for a daily program that has circle time, crafts, themes, games, letters/colors/numbers. The basic stuff but one that is not an arm and a leg to pay for. I'm the type of person who likes following a list of things to do as I don't think I'm too good at coming up with my own stuff (mostly can't make the time to sit down and do it).
    Thanks in advance

    I know some use Mother Goose Time but not sure the cost or exactly what is included.

    I find summer is so mixed up with kids on vacation and coming and going and often it is time a child leaves and a new one starts that I keep summer curriculum simple and disjointed. By that I mean small themes that only last a few days or one day themes that stand on their own. Usually they are based on reading a story and then doing activities related. I have sort of kept that going this past year and I like that I have control over what we do and when meaning I can choose what I want to do to some extent or save my energy and redo a story we have done in the past or when I find a neat activity I want to do can just search the shelf for a story that goes with the activity.

    I sit down at the beginning of the year and plan themes for the entire year so my themes are all set.

A few tips...

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.
