Playing outside is very important! The children not only get their exercise but they get to be independent as well. I HATE days when it rains, not for my flowers but for my children at my daycare.
Sleep is very important to a young child. They play, do crafts, dance and they are constantly on the go and need their sleep! I make sure they are getting this. If not sleep they're getting, at least they are getting rest from everything they did up to this sleep/rest time. After their time of sleep, they are ready to do it again , PLAY.
All age kids is what this world's all about. They are all capable of learning. So I am here to teach them! Doesn't mean they have to be a certain age, they all learn something!
