[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be careful, there's a difference between having a kindergarten-age classroom and being considered a kindergarten as far as the legal requirement to send children age 5 and older to school. Check with your jurisdiction to see if sending your child to a daycare center or preschool with such a classroom qualifies. Some children age 5 and older who are going to preschool with a K classroom are still enrolled in their public school system and attending distance learning classes from their daycare center, in order to comply with that legal requirement.[/quote]

What on earth are you talking about?!  Can you give one example of a kindergarten program at a preschool/daycare in our area that doesn’t count as kindergarten and requires the child to simultaneously enroll in their public school.  Never heard this in my life.[/quote]

Call your local department of education and ask. A daycare center is not required to comply with any particular curriculum for its kindergarten-age classroom, so there's no way for the governemnt to ensure the child is getting the required Kindergarten-level academic content. This doesn't take away for the level of care that the daycare center or preschool may be providing, and some of them may also be providing great academic content, but since the legal requirement is not there for them to comply with a specific curriculum, sending your children there and not also enrolling them in a bona-fide kindergarten program, even if it's virtual and your children attend from their daycare center, may not satisfy the legal requirement to send your children to kindergarten at age 5.

Are you the person who said that some people are sending their kids to daycare while they are enrolled in distance learning classes? If so, why don’t you give at least one example of this happening. Or did you just make this up? [/quote]
