Although largely unplanned, a preschool curriculum has unfolded this year for Banana Bread. She has an opportunity to enjoy the sensory activities designed for the toddlers, and the exposure to a larger world with the homeschoolers. As her daycare friends mature into their preschool years next year I think our daycare days will be more structured too.

I did make a conscious effort in the New Year to introduce a preschool literacy curriculum as she was showing an interest in print and learning to read (she would find "her letter" everywhere, and told stories as she 'read' them aloud in her play.)
Twice a week while we are waiting for the big kids to finish their activities we take a
portable homeschool kit on the road with us. We work on a preschool curriculum book (picked-up from Costco) until it exhausts her interest, she reads me some beginning readers, and then I read her a couple of stories. We usually school this way for about 30 minutes at a time, but it is more structured than her other play - it is important to follow the directions, and complete the work neatly :)
