[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NAEYC is a national accreditation that is very difficult to get. Only 8% of preschools in the country are NAEYC accredited. This accreditation ensures that parents know they are receiving a top notch preschool education and experience. Daycares do not typically have a concentration on goal oriented learning, preschools do. [/quote] Most licensed daycares in the DMV use a preschool curriculum as part of the day (e.g. Creative Curriculum). Some are even NAEYC accredited. The distinction you are making between "preschool" and "daycare" is not applicable to the choice OP is describing. Accreditation is one factor parents can consider when choosing a daycare or preschool. The most important factors are warm caregiving and low turnover. Some of the most miserable, disengaged teachers I have observed on tours happened to be at NAEYC accredited centers so I would not base my choice solely on that.[/quote]
