[quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny to a three and a half yr. old little boy.
I watch him currently for four days a week, ten hours each day.

His naps are now very brief and the weather has been nice to go on daily outings for now.
Well the other day, I was in the library for stories for the kids and met this other mother. She had a little girl about four yrs. old and told me there was a free playgroup at a nearby church for kids 2-5 every Wednesday morning.
The church was a block from the library and I followed her there. While I think it is completely inappropriate to teach a child religion, I made sure this playgroup didn't mention the Bible, Jesus or anything pertaining to God. I was afraid it would be a sort of "Sunday School" atmosphere and monitored it accordingly.

Well surprise, surprise. They had free play with tons of age-appropriate toys as well as circle/story time with regular stories for the kids. They also had a craft time where the kids could color and a dancing experience where the kids could pick out instruments and scarves and dance to regular music.

There was no religious teaching involved nor any praying. It was all based on F-U-N.  :D

After the Father came home, I mentioned this playgroup at the church and asked if it would be okay for me to take his son every week. I am not allowed to drive him anywhere and aside from the public library, there are not many kid-friendly places to walk to like a park or playground.
Dad seemed peeved when I mentioned where we went, so I gave him a flier with the church's Facebook info as well as their main website.

I even showed pictures to him of his son having a blast which he sure did.
He told me to please not take him to this playgroup anymore until he gets a chance to check it out online.

Suddenly I felt like I crossed the line. Did I?[/quote]
