Daycare Options
Overview
Daycare centers are designed to provide care for children while parents are at work, serving a broad age range from infants to school-aged children. The primary focus is on creating a safe and supervised environment where children can engage in basic activities, play, and social interaction.
Features
Daycare centers often offer flexible hours to fit the schedules of working parents. While they promote socialization through basic activities and may include some structured routines, their main goal is to provide dependable care rather than a formal education.
Age Group
These centers cater to children from infancy up to around 5-6 years old.
Pros: Flexible Hours, Caters to All Ages, Affordable
Cons: Limited Individual Attention, Variable Quality, Lower Focus on Education
Childcare Options

Childcare centers often include a combination of play-based learning and educational activities to support early development. They might offer school readiness programs covering basic literacy, numeracy, cognitive development, and sensory play. Some centers also provide extended hours to meet diverse family needs.

Overview
Preschools are designed as educational settings to prepare children for kindergarten and formal schooling. They focus on structured learning through play and activities that enhance cognitive, social, and emotional development. Preschools typically introduce early literacy, numeracy, and other foundational skills through their curriculum.
Features
Preschools operate on a set schedule that often aligns with the school year calendar. They provide a more formal educational experience than daycare or childcare centers, with a structured curriculum and planned activities aimed at promoting learning and development.
