[12 mths+] Did you remember to tell your little one ‘no daycare’ this morning? Actually, once you have defined the word ‘daycare’ (by telling them at the front gate or just entering), you can announce each morning ‘daycare today’ or ‘NO daycare today’.  Children this young may certainly be wondering what is happening for the day but would not necessarily have the words to ask.
And of course you can tell them anything else that’s on in the day – as long as you have defined the words for them ‘daddy work’, ‘shops today’, ‘Sam’s house today’ etc.
