Why in the world do these parents ask what we do all day and if their kids are going to learn. I tell them we learn through hands on playing not worksheets and I teach the kids their names the way they will learn in kindergarten. Like "Peter" or " Lucy" I let the parents know that we will work on their name this way to prevent the child from having to completely relearn their name in kindergarten. The kids learn do it great all week at daycare. Then Monday morning its like "PETER" or "LULU" cause that's the nickname. They will have to learn it right when school comes. Why bother? I don't know if this is common or just my lack of helpful DCP, but they are no help at home at all. UUUGH frustrating.
