[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only find it weird when people use the term “preschool” for a kid under 3 who is clearly going to daycare. I always get the vibe that they’re self conscious that their kid is going to daycare so they rebrand it as “school.” I say this as someone with a kid in daycare—it’s not school and it’s not supposed to be.

From 18mo+ my kids were in a full year, full day program with a Reggio curriculum where all the teachers had 4 yr education degrees and many had masters degrees. 3yr+ they ate family style in a cafeteria and went to separate rooms in the building for library, music, and art.  
What do you call that? I call it preschool, because the name of the school includes the word “preschool” and that’s the word the teachers use with the children. [/quote]

Are you supposed to say “oh my child goes to Falls Church Preschool but it’s daycare” just to cater to the people who are invested in this distinction? How do the people who have opinions about this cope with things like “day school” or “Montessori school”?

I really think this is a made up DCUM problem perpetuated by the poster who always comes on to belittle preschool teachers/daycare providers as uneducated.[/quote]
