I might approach him the way I did my own kids. My son was 7 years older than my daughter, he knew the truth and I told him not to ruin it for his sister. That the truth is the truth, but that the his sister and some friends at school still have fun believing in the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, and Santa. I told both of my kids when they knew the truth that if I found them ruining it for others, I was going to be very angry at them, because it isn't nice to steal someone's fun. We also have in my house (and maybe you can at daycare depending you you do things), "you have to believe to receive". We still do stockings for everyone even adults, but they are practical in your house you get socks, underwear maybe a little something fun, Easter baskets also, but if you keep saying you don't believe or it isn't real, you don't get one. We do this in our home because we believe that Santa is real. No he isn't a man who rides in a sleigh every year, but there is the "spirit" of Santa. Every year, people give to those who wouldn't eat otherwise, or give a gift for a child who would have none, those people are all Santa in spirit.
