Most of the time, whether you call it a preschool or a daycare, it is just semantics, but to me, there is a distinction.

The School with the Fluffy Bear! Recently, New Covenant Preschool was deemed the VPK option of choice by a four-year-old who had toured various preschools with her family. When the tours were over, she insisted she had to go to "the school with the Fluffy Bear!”

Quite often when you ask a preschool child “what was your favorite part of the day?” they reply “lunch!” Well, quite frankly, it’s my favorite part of the preschool day, too.

After 40 years in the Early Education field, I can honestly say I have been introduced to more “picky eaters” than you can count. Though I do not have a degree in nutrition, I do feel qualified to give parents advice, when asked, on feeding young children and how to develop positive eating habits.
