[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't quite get what you find annoying.  What is the criteria (in your mind) for when a program is daycare versus school?  Is it the curriculum that matters?  The time spent at the facility?  Or, are you saying that no program for two and three year olds is ever really "school" because the day doesn't look or feel like elementary school; in other words, do you object to the idea of "preschool" altogether?  So, for example, what about a program that meets only two mornings a week for two year olds and has structured activities and lessons but is primarily play-based?  Are you annoyed when people call that "preschool"?  It's clearly not daycare (it only meets two mornings a week).  Should that be called like "mommy's/nanny's mornings out" or something like that, or are you ok with that being called "preschool"?  There is a facility near us where once the kids turn two, the facility has both a part-time and full-time option.  The kids in the full time option spend their mornings just like the kids in the part-time option do -- engaging in a typical play-based preschool curriculum.  Their afternoons are more relaxed with a rest time, etc.  Are they in preschool in the morning and daycare in the afternoon?  [/quote]
