One of the reasons I would be interested in a religious based daycare/preschool is because I feel like the general character education is a bit lacking in our regular center. My daughter comes home with all kinds of phrases like "Not Nice". I want her to learn how to be kind, compassionate, thankful, etc.
If you are happy, what do they do?

It would be nice if they did more of this, but I think it'll probably mostly have to come from us at home. I was just thinking about this yesterday. My older one is learning a lot about being kind and compassionate with a baby at home now. I'm an only child and I definitely didn't have opportunities to learn any of this at 3 years old. It made me really happy to think this when I was watching her interact with baby sis yesterday.

@Andrea: Awww that is so sweet. Yes, we do a lot of things like that at home. She doesn't have a sibling (yet) but she does play with our dog and we talk about needing to be nice to him so he's our friend. Its just so hard that she spends 50 hours a week at daycare and 20 hours awake at home with us (plus 2 weekend days obviously). Proportionally it would be nice to have it reinforced during her time at school.

@T.H.O.U.: Yes, I was thinking that pets would teach kids similar things so that is great. I never had a pet growing up either! Anyway, I think it would be great if you are able to find a school that will teach her the values that you want her learn! It makes sense since she is spending a lot of time there, as you say.

I think social and emotional development is one of the most important things for teachers to focus on prior to kindergarten.
