[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But daycares are also taking note of development right? Our daycare actually uses gold.

It’s a misconception that DCPS PK teachers test. Watching a student engage in conversation is 1) their job 2) not testing 3) technically gold. So I’m confused about gold taking up so much of their teaching time. If your child’s teacher is entering gold during instruction then yes that’s a problem but that’s not how it should be set up and doesn’t represent dc PK. [/quote]

daycares have MUCH less bureaucracy and red tape to deal with. TS Gold takes up a lot of time, whether during school or after. It did not add anything to my kid’s PK experience at all. Daycares are geared towards taking care of kids, not instruction and assessment. [/quote]

Insert Jennifer Lawrence okay gif here. [/quote]

huh? I am explaining why MY kid wasn't ready and why daycares can be different. [/quote]

Then maybe say “our daycare” rather than daycares?[/quote]

Obviously daycares and DCPS and charters differ individually. But I had my child in three different daycare/preschools and DCPS between 3-5 so I have some basis to compare. And I was also advised by professionals (school consultant and child psychologist) that daycares are usually lower key and less stressful, particularly when you add in after-care. I am well aware that many kids do great in DCPS PK3 - my response is specifically to OP's question about those kids not ready for public PK yet. [/quote]
