[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you care what other people call their child care?

Seriously, it's sad that you're so invested in this.

There is a national focus now on early childhood education.  The stark line you draw between daycare and "school" is blurring. [/quote]

No it isn't and won't until we embrace DAYCARE as a needed and beneficial educational institution.   The only reason you want to call it "school" is because you feel it is not as bad to leave your child all day if it is school.[/quote]

I do embrace daycare as a great thing, & I'm always surprised and roll my eyes (internally, for politeness' sake) whrn people look down on it. And I think mostly I've referred to my kids' child care centers as daycare, but sometimes I call it school, because it is seriously not the big deal you're making it out to be. Daycare is a reality for 80 zillion women in this area and doesn't need its honor defended. When my daughter's CDC has a comparable curriculum to her DCPS preschool classroom, and her DCPS offers aftercare until 6, preschool vs daycare becomes a distinction without a difference. Insisting on using separate terms reinforces the stigma you claim you're trying to dispel.[/quote]
