[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, if your child is not even in preK at the moment how could you possibly think they are ready for K. There are kids who have had 3 years of academic preK plus the socialization that comes with that...while your kid has been in a daycare. Seems like you didn't really do a lot of research on this as the kids who are admitted early, as many pps note, are surpassing K expectations and harmed if not allowed to start K. This means they can read well likely and are doing low level maths AND have the social and emotional maturity to keep up.[/quote]

Day care is the same as preschool.   [/quote]

LOL. No.[/quote]

You don't have much experience with early childhood care facilities if you don't understand there is significant overlap between daycare and preschool for 3-5 year olds. In many cases it is simply a branding strategy for a daycare to call some of its classes preschool.[/quote]

The only difference is a preschool is generally 9-3 or so and not all day and a day care is all day.  Complete branding.

The question is if a prek/4s program was academic or not.  Most are play based which is why so many kids are not prepared for K.  So, repeating one like that is not worth much.[/quote]
