[quote=Anonymous]I'm leaning no, because this sounds like true indoctrination. I went to several church-based daycares as a child and most were wonderful. The religion part was evident, but I saw it mostly as a game. We learned songs and stories about Jesus, and I memorized them. We could have been singing about Mohammed or Moses or the Tooth Fairy. However, one "teacher" I had (and I should say this particular teacher was the issue, not necessarily the entire program) really did want to pound it into us that there would be dire consequences if we didn't BELIEVE. In hindsight, I'm sure she was talking about how believing in Jesus leads to everlasting life. But I took it literally. I remember coming home one night and pleading with my mother to the point of tears during a "some people believe that" conversation, because I was certain her non-belief was going to kill her. I was truly terrified that she was going to die. Like THAT NIGHT. So... maybe find a better fit.[/quote]
