[quote=Anonymous]I think formal lesson planning is more important in the daycare/preschool environment because you have more kids and having to spend time thinking about a lesson plan that will benefit all of your kids is often the best way to ensure that all the kids receive sufficient attention and scaffolding for their learning and development. It can certainly be done as a nanny, and will likely be beneficial, but it is more up to the preference of the individual nanny. When you spend your time with just 1-2 kids, it is much easier to continually observe their development and come up with individualized activities for them without much formal planning, so whether you formally plan or not is more up to how you are wired- some people prefer pre-planning and others prefer to work on the fly, one isn't necessarily better than the other, they are just two different ways of reaching the same destination.[/quote]
