[quote=Anonymous]....and the "preschool is only HALF DAY" nazis come out. Don't worry, there's no hourly limit as to what is preschool and what is not. There's honestly not much of a difference, except that most full day preschools claim to adhere to some sort of method or curriculum. Ours is "inspired by reggio emilia" and therefore play based. My friend sends her kid to a preschool that actively "teaches" kids to read and write and sends 3 year olds home with "homework" <-- usually a worksheet on the letter they are learning that week. There's also Waldorf, Montessori, High Scope, NAEYC accredited (those are supposed to be the best but are rare and some daycare centers have accreditation). A daycare center's "preschool room" is probably similar, you'll have to ask each daycare what the kids do and learn in the preschool rooms. As I said above, there are some area daycares that have accredited preschool programs.[/quote]
