[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if prek is the year before k, what is DC prek3? Does DC make this distinction in programming or curriculum?[/quote] DC has PS3 and PK4, so they appear to distinguish between preschool and pre-kindergarten. The difference really depends on the program--not all PK programs are "academically focused," and certainly there are a lot of social skills being developed. Our daycare has a threes and a fours room that roughly follow the PS/PK distinction. Both rooms have similar programming that addresses social studies, preliteracy, early math skills, etc., using a play-based curriculum. The four-year-olds have more field trips, delve into a topic a little more deeply, etc.[/quote]
