[quote=Anonymous]I noticed this years ago when enrolling dc in preschool. The school was for children ages 2-6. They offered half day programs, but also “full day” preschool and “extended day” preschool. I asked what the difference was between the latter two and the director tried to find a circumspect way to say that “extended day” was childcare for working parents without actually saying that that’s what it is. There was no additional academic instruction after the “full day” program ended. The extra hours were just childcare until working parents could arrive for pick up. I couldn’t understand why the director had to use such oblique language to describe the service options they were offering. It was as though the employees had been taught not to use a term like “after care,” so “school” was the only acceptable term. It did make me uncomfortable that they seemed not to want to admit to providing childcare, like that’s something objectionable. [/quote]
