I know you're always got the right ideas blackcat!

And it's nice because I was starting to feel less worthy as a provider reading half of all of your posts about curriculum's and stuff because I don't do that, never planned to. I started searching out some websites trying to find some stuff.

I do the old fashioned way, where I take a pen/marker and make dots to form an A a, B b, etc and get the kids to trace it.

My son learned to write his name in 10 minutes by tracing it, then copying ti below.

I think we are responsible for a small amount of academic learning with the children we care for. But we are not home school teachers, we are not professors, tuitors or anything of the sort. We are providers, here to care for children, help instill values in them, and teach them how to interact with others. Other than that, if parents want their children to be einsteins, they can home school them from years 0-5 ( or whatever age they start school).
