[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the difference between all day daycare and PK3 (minus the fact that daycare can be longer hours)

My son's day care and the PK program he was in were both play based so it was basically the same thing.

Daycare's priority is keeping kids happy, rested and fed, and parents happy. Public preK is set within a larger school and tends to fit the kids into a structure rather than the other way around - eg limits on recess, moving around for "specials," rules about potty training, more testing/assessments, shorter naps. ius its public school, so parents don't have the same authority or standing as in a daycare, and the administration has to deal with a whole host of issues and constraints not present at a daycare. [/quote]

So your kids at daycare were allowed on the playground ground at any time for outside time? Our daycare has two playgrounds but there are definitely scheduled times for “recess” because it’s not safe for every class to be out at the same time. And our daycare didn’t get to go to “specials” at all.

I’m surprised your PK tested the kids. [b]Our DCPS definitely did not[/b]. [/quote]

How do you know?[/quote]

They don’t test them but they’re constantly being assessed with things like TS Gold. [/quote]
