I follow the EXACT same nutritional guidelines, safety and sleep guidelines. Once children turn two they begin learning basic shapes, colors, matching, etc. When they turn three they continue to build on those basics and at age four they begin a preschool readiness program. Just because I am not licensed BY CHOICE does not mean I don't take my profession and the safety of the children I'm responsible for seriously!! I've had parents come to me because I am NOT licensed. For four years now I've had a two year waiting list!! STOP MAKING ASSUMPTIONS!!!!
Read again, the negative statements were regarding ILLEGAL providers. What you're doing is legally unlicensed care.
