[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I personally think planning learning activities are important in both instances. Why would a 3 year old with a nanny be less deserving of a structured, enriching day than a 3 year old who's in daycare?

The big difference is that nannies often have more household related chores that take up time, so nanny isn't able to give the child as much of a learning opportunity as a child would get in daycare. Add into the mix younger siblings and having to cater to their needs as well.[/quote]

Most 3 year old are already in good preschool programs. They have structured, enriching activities in the mornings. Its nice to just let them play, do what they want, and be kids in the afternoon. Many 3 years olds still nap so after nap there isn't a ton of time to put your lesson plan in place anyway. [/quote]

I'm talking about kids who are not in preschool at all. If they're already getting 2-3 hours of structure at preschool, at home should be for playing and resting. [/quote]
