I feel you. When my son was going to a daycare IN SOMEONE’S HOME I was surprised when at 18 mos he started saying grace before meals.

I didn’t mind about the grace (you could only understand “amen”) but it bothered me that someone else was teaching my son their religious philosophy.

Our church has a school through the week, including a nursery school and I know the church does not use any money that comes in through the school fundraising events. It ALL goes to the school. I would think this would be the same across the board, but perhaps not.

Yes, I totally understand. Not too religious myself (recovering Catholic), and the first day care I sent Max to was run by a church.

They were very nice and sweet and I, like you, managed to avoid most overtly church-related donation schemes, and every time one of the church ladies would send me off with a “Have a Blessed Day,” I’d wonder if I did have “heathen” stamped on my forehead. Hope the ring-toss isn’t too horrendous.
