I don't think I am interested in the formal learning per say as I think kids learn best by doing and through play. I also agree that the social skills are most important to be developed right now. We are a very active group and learn as we go e.g. nature and science exploration outside etc. I think a circle time though would be interest to my younger ones though. I am also aware that parents often take older kids from home daycare settings (in Toronto especially) to enroll in preschool to get that academic piece. I personally think kids get enough of that once they enter kindergarten but I am looking to add a little more structured learning and appeal to families for the long term. I think basic circle time activities are a good idea to review day of the week and introduce out themes e.g mother's day and sing songs. Simple enough and it makes parents happy.
