[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing really. Both are child care. Daycare is where kids go to be looked after when their parents work. Preschool is where kids go for a few mornings a week so their stay at home parents can have a break / run errands. Both typically do a combination of play and learning activities.[/quote] This is it exactly. Anyone who thinks their half day preschool is academically preparing their children for K is a joke. It is all about socialization, learning to share, learning to stand in line, take turns, follow directions, and sit still in circle time. All the good preschools (half or full day) are play based anyway. There has been so much research on this. I actively avoided putting my child in a preschool that had an academic curriculum. Her play based preschool covers a letter a week and the rest she learns through play. As she should. [/quote]
