[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For ages 2-4, I think the difference is semantic. Any good daycare will have the same activities as the DCPS preschools. I did find that teachers in DCPS and charters had more education than the teachers at the daycares my kids went to, although the daycare teachers had more experience at the job. I think the benefits conferred are less dependent on whether it's called "daycare" or "preschool" and [b]more dependent on the institution and staff they hire[/b].[/quote] This is absolutely correct. The idea that one is inherently better than the other is silly. There are some "daycares" that have high-quality teachers and curriculum, just as there are some preschools that don't. You need to look at the specific institutions you are considering to try to determine which is a better fit for you.[/quote]
