[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the difference between all day daycare and PK3 (minus the fact that daycare can be longer hours) My son's day care and the PK program he was in were both play based so it was basically the same thing. [/quote] Daycare's priority is keeping kids happy, rested and fed, and parents happy. Public preK is set within a larger school and tends to fit the kids into a structure rather than the other way around - eg limits on recess, moving around for "specials," rules about potty training, more testing/assessments, shorter naps. ius its public school, so parents don't have the same authority or standing as in a daycare, and the administration has to deal with a whole host of issues and constraints not present at a daycare. [/quote] This. DD went to PK3 at Two Rivers and we pulled her after a few weeks. We put her back in her daycare. It was just too much for us at such a young age.[/quote]
