[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the SfF poster, I posted  that post and the one clarifying that it is a daycare.  I have not  posted anything else on this thread.   [/quote]
The fact that you want it to be a daycare,
 does nothing to change the fact that it's a preschool.[/quote]

Preschools and daycares aren't mutually exclusive.  A preschool is a program that provides activities and a curriculum in a group setting to get children ready for Kindergarten.  A daycare is a program that provides supervision and care during the hours that a parent is working.  Most daycares that serve students over 2 are going to provide activities and curriculum and prepare kids for K so they're also preschools.  Many preschools are designed to serve children all day, so they are also daycares.

SfF has a full day program.  It includes elements that are specifically designed to cater to working parents, such as a 10 hour day, and staying open at times when part time preschools and preschools in elementary settings are typically closed, such as winter break or the month of July.  It is absolutely a daycare.  It is also a preschool.

There are a number of excellent programs in the DC are that offer full day daycare plus an excellent preschool curriculum.  The preschools at both DC JCC and Rockville JCC, Ohr Kodesh, Wonders, Amazing Life Games, the childcare centers at UDC or Georgetown Law or the World Bank, the Center for Young Children at UMD . . . . I could go on and on listing my favorites.  Families choose these programs instead of nanny care for many reasons other than simply being cheap.  They choose them because they have more opportunities for peer interactions, because they value the activities in the curriculum, because the teachers are often highly educated, because they'd rather not have someone in their house, etc . . .
