What’s the difference between daycare, child care, and preschool? What is Love to Learn?
Love to Learn is a licensed child care facility that offers both preschool and care for young children.
The terms can be confusing because they often describe different aspects of a program. Child care is the broad term for programs that provide care and supervision for children. Daycare generally refers to the care component of a program, while preschool emphasizes early learning and development.
At Love to Learn, we bring these together. Our 2-year-old program provides a nurturing environment with age-appropriate learning, play, and care, while our 3–5-year-old preschool program offers a more structured early childhood curriculum designed to build the academic, social, emotional, and independence skills children need as they grow.
