[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is still in daycare, one very much advertised as "play-based," and they've been spending a lot of time on letters and numbers. They practice in some way every day and a couple of the kids can write their (short) name now. I was very surprised by this and now not sure what to expect for preschool...my own ignorance? TBH having my not quite 3yo know a lot of letters and numbers in daycare isn't that thrilling ... I'd rather go to the park and slide or collect sticks. I know some parents are really into it though. I've taken to thinking "it is what it is" and just don't emphasize it or push for more in our activities at home. They have the rest of their lives to be drilled on this stuff. I suppose I'll feel the same way about preschool. [/quote] Your kid is in daycare for what, 8 hrs/day? A little bit of phonics won’t hurt them. Kids actually enjoy learning. [/quote]
