[quote=Anonymous]Really depends on your child and your needs. A day care is more likely to be full-time (e.g., 7 am to 6 pm) and year-round (i.e., no summer vacation), and is therefore really convenient to families where the parents work full-time. A preschool is more likely to have teachers who have advanced training in early childhood education and a more robust pedagogy and curriculum. Many day cares have what they call a "preschool curriculum," but after having experienced both - a highly regarded preschool and a preschool curriculum at a highly regarded day care center - I have to say that it's just not the same. Where will you be living? School for Friends, near Dupont Circle, is a fantastic preschool, although it's pretty competitive for 2 year-olds. If you'll be in DC, note that many public schools accept 3-year-olds, and your child will be eligible to enroll in the fall of 2017. Good luck![/quote]
