4) Do you teach preschool? Not an organized program. This is daycare, not school. They will have plenty of time sitting in a desk, listening to lectures, and trying to be quiet. I play with the children and during play we work on colors, shapes, numbers, letters, sequencing, etc. Oh, then there's the whole life skills things like crawling, walking, talking, feeding themselves, manners, sharing, washing hands, etc. We are talking about primitive skills to prepare them for life.
