[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daycare and preschool are mostly just marketing terms and don't really mean anything. The care and education they provide can be exactly the same, and whether they call themselves child care or preschool doesn't tell you all that much (other than that a preschool probably doesn't have infants and a child care center probably isn't part-day only.) Places within each category range from terrible to mediocre to good, and you need to focus on finding good ones. But there's no reason to assume that either child care/daycare or preschool is any better or worse than the other.[/quote] Very few daycares actually use that word daycare. Many use early learning center. Oftentimes a preschool has lots of days off and doesn't run during the summer, though they may offer a summer camp for a few weeks. They may or may not offer before/after care. Imo the difference between a daycare and a preschool is that a preschool is a pita for working parents.[/quote]
