[quote=Anonymous]People on DCUM make this so complicated, but it's really very simple. Pre-K is usually what they call the 4 year olds (and some 5 year olds) in preschool. It's just the year before Kindergarten. Some public schools in different parts of the country (including DC) have public pre-K programs. DC has both 3 and 4 year olds so they make a distinction (PK3 and PK4). That's it, OP!! There are some posters on here who claim that anything that is not a half-day program is not preschool and insist that anything full-time is daycare. So this group will be defensive and whiny and say things like "my child is in a 3 day a week, 3 hour a day pre-K program and they are WAY more prepped for kindergarten than your child who is in a full day program that CALLS itself a preschool but is really daycare". I ignore these people, because they are annoying, and I don't understand why get so defensive and care so much whether preschool is half day or full day. It's so weird.[/quote]
