[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call it school, because it's where my 2yo has learned to count, his shapes, Spanish, etc.  He has teachers there.  How is this not school?[/quote]

I tend to agree with you. When DD was an infant it was definitely 'daycare,' but now that she's two the things she learns amazes me daily: counting, colors, shapes, ABC's. And the ART - so much art. And the  choreographed dances. And how to get along with others and share toys.

Her caregivers are certainly teaching her these things, so how are they not teachers? [/quote]

Because unless it is an accredited preschool with certified teachers with college degrees - they aren’t teachers. [/quote]

Around here the teachers at some of the better "daycares" do have college degrees and certifications, even in the younger classrooms.  (All of our's have certifications and at least some early education training.  I believe starting in the 2s classes they also have college degrees.  They definitely do in the 3-5s classes.)[/quote]
