[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if I call it daycare and my 2.5 yo insists on calling it school? Do I correct him? Please, I'm so worried. I don't want him to believe a lie.[/quote]

Yes. Correct him. Drive past the neighborhood school he will go to one day and tell him "That's school. You'll go there when you are five." Give him that milestone to look forward to and aspire to and be excited about. [/quote]

Not the PP you're quoting, but would you do that if her son was in a traditional preschool, i.e., stand-alone preschool program?

The snobbery around traditional preschool is absurd.  When my daughter was a toddler, we called it daycare.  Her little brother is in the same toddler room that she was in, and he goes to daycare.  Now she still goes to the same organization, but is in a room with a play-based curriculum, the caregivers have specific training in early childhood education, etc.  So, yeah, we call it school.  Same as we'd do if she were in a stand-alone preschool program.  For the life of me, I do not understand why some people are so hung up on this issue.  It was a hell of a lot easier logistically to keep her where she was, the parents whose children had been through raved about it, done and done.[/quote]
