[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Preschool teacher here:  I would recommend setting up a loose schedule that included outdoor play, reading time, music and art.  Have her do a color a day if your child doesn’t know colors yet (collect all blue toys and put them in a pile, for example) do shapes, letters and numbers in a fun way during play.

Have your nanny take turns with him in games.

There a couple preschool curriculums that I’ve seen on Facebook but they are honestly crap.

Read, engage, sing and play.  [/quote]

Introducing a curriculum at this point will take the fun out of it all at this age. He is so fortunate to have a full-time caregiver! As long as she is talking to him, reading to him, singing songs, and he is getting outdoor time and some art time, he is ahead of the game.

Honestly, even actual PKs mess this up sometimes. My DD was in a program at a PK at 2 and they were more interested in sending kids home with finished art projects, for instance, than just letting them color and experiment, which is much more important. We pulled her out. I don't kneed 200 finger paint handprints for every day of school, but I do want my kid to be able to just sit around a draw for an hour at school. The latter is so much more important.[/quote]
