Footage posted by the group Guerilla Momz shows Berkeley Federation of Teachers President Matt Meyer dropping his two-year-old daughter off at a private preschool. Meyer’s daughter’s face is blurred out.

 

I think it's a long stretch to call this a private preschool. It may be, but a two year old is not going to preschool. She is going to daycare.

Having sent my kid to the same private school from two years old thru high school, there is a difference between daycare and preschool.

My kid went to preschool at 2 years old. Not daycare.

Sure, there is a lot of daycare types of things - finger painting and modeling clay types of things. But they are actually getting an education - learning to read, learning how to read and perform music, learning (two) other languages, swimming lessons, making stand up presentations to groups of 20-25 adults, etc.

All taught in a school with a 5 to 1 student to teacher ratio.

He is now a freshman at a top 50 college.

There is a significant difference between daycare and preschool. And, unfortunately, a lot of great kids never find their true potential because they never had the opportunity to explore it.

It’s been over 30 years since my kids went to school but I know they started when they were 3. We didn’t have public kindergarten but by the time they were old enough for first grade they had already done 3 years of schooling. You’re right though, school at 2 is a bit of a stretch. They probably have a daycare center in the same building as the school.

“ It may be, but a two year old is not going to preschool. She is going to daycare.”

A distinction without a difference.
