I just posted on that thread about my confusion with the question, I had to read a couple of times to figure out what OP was talking about. Preschool is half day or part time, daycare is full day care for working parents or children that need care all day.
It is a bit much when someone claims their 6 month old just got dropped off at "the best" school and is learning so much.
Honest question - why isn't your precious little preschool just called half-daycare?

Hence the "if you ever have some free time" part.

It's so irritating and adds nothing to the conversation yet if it's the same person, she says it every. single. time. I'm so curious if it's one person or multiple people who have this weird hang up about what preschool is or is not.
Why don't you go through and link the posts for him?
-a person who also thinks daycare is all day and preschool is partial day

Yep, I've posted this before but not in a few months. It's true. Why does this get people so annoyed?

Yeah, I'm not the one writing that all the time, but preschool that lasts all day is daycare. When someone says 'preschool' to me I think half day or less and to use those terms incorrectly might get confusing. Why is it such a big deal to you?

I haven't written that, but I do believe that that is the generally the way people use those two terms. I don't think that there is any implied difference in quality between daycare and preschool.
