Do all private day nurseries follow national curriculum?
I hope not. Once some “curriculum group” starts writing a curriculum for toddlers, then mandatory schooling at four, then three, then two, will become inevitable. And yet for decades, children in kindergarten have only gone there to learn “shut up, play nice, raise your hand to go to the toilet” and not anything that needs a curriculum. Most of them don’t even learn to count or learn the alphabet, as those would interfere with “whole language” and “new new math” instruction. Fer gawdsakes, they’re already learning NOTHING in 13 years of K-12, why would we want to imprison them another three years as babies, when what they really need at that age is mommy love. The kind of “curriculum” that would be appropriate for “day nurseries” at that age can only be administered one-on-one. Honestly, what is the matter with people these days? “Let the government rear our children” is a mantra for totalitarian societies.
