I think as providers we all have to offer what we believe is right for the kids and the parents have a choice! I do have a preschool curriculum, however I tell parents it isn't set in stone. I have two hours a day set aside for it, but that includes arts and crafts and all of that. But, I tell the parents if the kids aren't into it that day and want to play, we are going to play. I believe in early learning, but IMHO forcing the kids is not going to help they are going to be upset about being forced into it and not learn anything anyway. I also think we can learn a ton by play. There are countless opportunities to talk about colors, shapes, math, counting, and tons of other stuff with play.
