[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sounds like a huge hassle.  I have no idea why working parents (except in DC where it's free) bother to choose these "preschools", unless they've been fooled by the marketing that a "preschool" is somehow inherently better than "child care." Obviously you have to look into each individual program carefully, but there are good and bad preschools just like there are good and bad child care centers, and plenty of child care centers do as good or better at supporting early learning and development as preschools do (while also being open the hours and days working parents need.)  Slapping the name "preschool" on a program doesn't tell you anything about the quality, it just tells you that the program is not likely to prioritize working parents' schedules and needs.  Yet parents keep assuming they are magically "better"...[/quote]

Preschool is like going to elementary school. Lots of different classes and outdoor space. Daycare you’re in one room all day and the playground a few times.

It’s pretty different. Just the facilities alone should make that apparent.

Daycare also has a lot of kids starting up over the course of the year and have a long transition and they take anyone. Schools can kick you out if you have a problem child and start with a fixed class at the beginning of the year. [/quote]
