[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We tried to get my DD into parochial school from a Bright Horizons and she was rejected.  Yes, I do blame the daycare in part.

It is not about getting a child into HYPS for college.  It is about wanting the best education for your child.  [/quote]

Why do you blame BH?  What do you think would have given her a better shot at admission?[/quote]

I think an actual preschool, not a daycare, would have been better. [/quote]

We are completely comfortable that our "daycare" (which has a preschool program for kids that age, so is really indistinguishable from a "preschool" other than the extended hours) is preparing our son for K, whether public or private, something we haven't decided on.

It is play based, but they are teaching them all sorts of things and skills.  For example, last week they were learning about states of matter (liquids, gases, solids) at levels of detail I was shocked about.  They have also started a program "interviewing" classmates (favorite food, color, etc) to gain confidence in public speaking.

There are good and bad preschools and good and bad "daycares," but it is misguided to assume a preschool program in a daycare is necessarily inferior to a stand alone preschool.[/quote]
