[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point is that they have free time during morning recess and again in the afternoon and I'm sure their activities besides nap, snack and recess in the afternoon also include loosely designated play time at different centers and then what is actually designated "free time" for another hour.  Most of the day is pretty easy at a day care center.  They tend to do story time and writing and numbers in the morning (in addition to snack, recess and lunch). [b] I do not believe that your day care center is "intense.[/b]" [/quote]

How on earth could you know whether another person's daycare center is too intense? And for a child you don't know?
All that writing and phonics and counting is not developmentally appropriate for most children.  So what if hundreds of thousands of kids suffer through it?  Ever hear the research done on two preschool programs in the same town (don't remember where Ct or NJ maybe) in which the kids on the lower socioeconomic scale went to a teaching preK/daycare and the more advantaged kids went to play pre-k?  The  "teaching" day care didn't help advance them at all.

Sure, make your own choice, but you are so off proclaiming judgment on the OP.[/quote]
