[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks 15:31. I'm not actually panicked about dd behind behind and meant it a bit as tongue in cheek. Although I do want to make sure I'm thinking of the right things and have some idea of a good timeline. We are actually living in rural Mississippi now so not much to compare to here regarding academics.

But can anyone comment on differences between structured daycare vs preschool and prek? Why does everyone think preschool/prek is so important if they are learning all the same things in a structured daycare setting?[/quote]

If it makes you feel any better, we moved to Faifax County from the  God-foresaken Delta -Greenville, Mississippi. (And I love Mississippi, just not the Delta)  My kids were  in privates (obviously) at Lourdes and St Joes.  The youngest was in preschool (3) and the oldest was in high school. They were actually ahead of their peers at Lake Braddock when we moved.  We were shocked! My daughter was a national merit scholar despite attending 6th, 7th, and 8th grade in very rural Mississippi.

My kids are grown now but have benefited so much from living and going to school all over the world.  I grew up an Army Brat and the education I received by living all over everywhere simply cannot be replicated in any one school.  You can drop my kids anywhere and they will adapt and succeed.  I have one child teaching Engiish in China, one serving as a military officer in Afghanistsn, one in Iraq with his National Guard Unit, one in college at Ole Miss, and one in the Air Force in Texas.  All did great in college.  Your kid will be fine no matter where she goes to school.  It's about the experience!

Do not let what you read on dcum or anywhere like dcum cloud your judgment.  It's just preschool!  If she learns how to share, play nicely with her friends, and follow directions, she's doing fine!  She could get that at a church based moms morning out program. [/quote]
