I'm glad I'm not the only one! I feel exactly the same way. Right now we have 3 infants and 1 toddler (my son) and we plan to get 2 more toddlers enrolled.
So far we've been really providing care, nothing intentionally academic just play based(free play). Now with the pressure to reach full capacity with two more toddlers I don't think parents will understand play based learning and seek out more traditional academic settings.
I'm still trying to juggle the two ideas so I plan to have 1 hour/day dedicated to more of the academic approach during times like circle time or whatever. I do plan to incorporate some sort of theme like alphabets, numbers, colors and shapes. That being said, I truly believes in play based learning so if the children are not interested then we don't force it.
We are going to have a tour tomorrow for someone interested in the toddler spot. Wish me luck!
