[QUOTE="miche, post: 22589, member: 3488"] She is currently in a daycare with preschool built in. She was formerly in a state accredited preschool with before and after care that was extremely structured and academic. Everyday was a struggle with the teacher to get her to stay in her stations and she was starting to have sleep problems and nightmares. She was told where to play and what to play, and didn't have any choice about it. In writing, she had to write her name each day 10 times. Man, did she hate the writing center!!! Now I know why!! She was starting to display Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) characteristics and was getting stressed about her homework each night, if it wasn't perfect she would get mad and push it off the table. That's why we took her out. Among other reasons. Now she is in a daycare setting with a much less rigid day. Circle time (20 minutes) is really the only time they are completely expected to sit and listen. The rest of the day is alot of free play in centers and art projects. They do alot of painting and such, usually centered around the letter of the week. (difficult child is way beyond the academic part, she's known her letters and sounds for quite some time now, and is starting to read a little by herself, but I thought it was important to relax on the academics and focus on the fun, and maybe that would help.)
