[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daycare and preschool are different, PP.  You must not have looked very far.

OP, everyone I know went from private K to public K once it switched to FT.  A shame for the good preschools!  [/quote]

OK, my comment was only that I believe because FDK is now a reality for FCPS, a lot of places that offered private K programs (I mentionned the daycares like Chesterbrook and Winwood only as an example) probably would not be offering them much longer.  Simple business - lack of demand.

If you want your kid in private/parochial K, that's fine.  But many of the people I know who sought out private K programs were doing it simply because public HDK did NOT work for them, mostly for work reasons but also because some felt HDK didn't offer the same educational opportunity that a FDK would.

I actually found that the daycares that offered the private FDK programs were ridiculously expensive, so I was left with a parochial K-8 school and a traditional preschool that offered a private K program.  The parochial school offered a full-day Monday, and only wound up being slightly more expensive than the cost of the 2 SACC programs would have been in a HDK school.

Certain private K programs will likely continue, but for most people, why pay extra for school if it isn't necessary?[/quote]
