TV/educational application suggestions?

We do tv in the morning and tv at the end of the day. Around 45 minutes each time. I do also put tv on during nap for any that stay up. We sometimes do movies. Just because the tv is on doesn't mean they are watching it. It is good in the morning for the ones who come in grumpy or tired - they can just veg for a bit and watch tv. At the end of the day everything is cleaned up so time to rest and wait for pickups.

I think it's funny when parents are concerned about too much tv when 90 percent of them have the tv on all the time at home, let the kids play video games, play iPads or on their phone.

my thoughts exactly. and that is why i don't feel bad about my allowed tv time. I do the same as you. There are some days that the TV doesn't go on at all. I don't advertise a TV Free daycare because we do have tv time, i allow it and i like it

Even families that have the tv on all the time at home are allowed to pay for/hope for tv free daycare. It just means they hope their child's day is full of engaging, hands on activities. I see nothing odd with that request.
