DC liked to play school at that age too. While I would indulge for a set period of time, and not every day, it sounds like you are feeling steamrolled and you are not able to get your regular work done.

Yes, it is okay to say no to a learning activity.

I think it sounds like you need to set some limits to what is reasonable to you. During times you need to do something, you could give choices of what your child could do during that time by herself, but she is not to bother you. Maybe you could have her set up school for her stuffed animals. In addition, maybe you could involve your daughter in chores. If she wants to make it a game, you could pretend you are maid service or restaurant. Your daughter will probably enjoy that responsibility.

I hope this answers your original question. Just my two cents.
