[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Where is your child now?[/b] keeping them in daycare is a perfectly good backup option versus sending them to a school you don't really like that is geographically inconventient. The fact is that "free" PK is massively less convenient than a daycare that is always open. Also, if the school has bad aftercare, you might end up having to hire an after school babysitter who is just as expensive as daycare.

If you have a kid who is less than totally resiliant and cheerful, daycare can also just be a more appropriate environment. DCPS PK3s are not daycare (designed to keep kids happy and content) - they are school, with assessments, structured classes, benchmarking, tons of transitions, teachers without great understanding of 3 year olds. And most daycares will prep your kid for kindergarten just fine. [/quote]
With a nanny 2 days/week. We interact with other 2/3 year olds pretty regularly, but I think by fall she'll want/need more constant interaction with peers and most of them will be in a program somewhere. I don't want to go back to work full-time just to put my kid in daycare. We have an infant too and I'd like to keep my part-time schedule a little longer, but so much depends on preschool. [/quote]
Thanks for your insight, by the way.[/quote]
