[quote=Anonymous]Nanny for 2.5 yo twins here.  We do an outing each day (so for us a class would count aa our big outing) and other than that we mostly play.  Yes, I could make a list like the one above about activities, but it’s not really necessary for young kids to have a big to-do list each day and they learn more from activities that are grounded in reality or self-directed.

So on a typical day: I get them up and dressed, we practice sitting on the potty and read a book or sing a song while they sit.  They play with whichever toy they are obsessed with that week while I lay out breakfast.  They clean up toys (with help), then choose their dishes for breakfast and sit at the table and put bibs on.  We eat and they clean the table and get shoes and coats on while I put food away.  We go on our outinf and usually get home just before lunch, so we repeat rhe breakfast routine basically, then nap.

After nap, if I am still cooking, I might invite them to help me, or have them do a more guided activity nearby so I can keep an eye on them, then we have an hour or two to practice going potty every 20-30 minutes with big kid undies in between and we do more guided activities like puzzles, coloring, stickers, sensory bins, playdough, etc. then since I have to be right on top of them to monitor their potty status, as it were.  Then I put diapers back on and they get another half hour of free play time before dinner, then it’s bath, stories and bedtime.
