It's a daycare center.  [/quote]

At a church?

Someone was complaining a month or so ago about a similar thing at a preschool or daycare at a Methodist church.   It seems silly to get upset about this especially if it is a typical preschool/kids grace. Consider it a good lesson in basic dinner manners (sitting quietly and respectfully).[/quote]

I don't think that it would necessarily matter if it were in a church.  Sometimes schools simply rent space  that is available.  If it is truly a secular daycare, I would expect their to be Christian prayer just because they rented space from a church, just as I wouldn't expect them to change to a Jewish prayer if they happened to rent space from a temple across the street the next year.  Of course, I think you would have to accept that there might be some crosses/stars in the room if you know that you are going to a facility in a house of worship, but that is different than incorporating prayer into the actual school program.[/quote]
