[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents who call anything before kindergarten "school."

If your child is under the age of 5, he is not going to school. He is going to preschool, or daycare or moms' day out. Stop trying to justify it by calling it school - drop him off, let him have fun and socialize and do what you've got to/want to do. It's ok. Really. [/quote]

Huh.  I call it school, because my kid insists that she is "going to school."  They do have PK curriculum, but that's not how I justify it to myself.  It's just what we call it in our house.  [/quote]

Oh, PP1 again, who gets up in arms at everyone not calling it "daycare." Get over it, OP. My daughter's preschool is school; it says so right in the name. It's right there after "pre-." And guess what? Her pre-primary program was ALSO school (I know! The horror!), because they had a curriculum and it was at a Montessori SCHOOL! Once again ... right there in the name. I'm not sure why you're so hot to correct everyone and call their children's early school "daycare" - you clearly seem to mean it as an insult. Which it isn't - daycare is great and a necessity for most. [/quote]
