Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Most skills are taught through play, but structured circle time happens every day, as does book reading to the kids. But kids might also be read to when they're playing, if a child picks up a book. Music instruction also occurs each day, but also might just happen during playtime.

Parent #2
Low-key but effective.
