Not all childcare is created equal. If you’re weighing options, here are three key ways school-based programs like Kids Care Club differ from home daycare:
Home Daycare vs Preschool
- Curriculum: Preschool classrooms follow a structured, age-appropriate curriculum that supports cognitive, language, social and motor development. Most home daycares offer unstructured care with limited educational planning.
- Staff Training: School-based programs employ certified teachers with early childhood education backgrounds. Home daycare providers may have minimal training beyond basic licensing.
- Environment: Preschools offer group learning, peer collaboration, and facilities designed for early development. Home settings may be less consistent in safety, supervision, and enrichment.
At Kids Care Club, this starts in our Infant Program—where we provide personalized care, follow each child’s milestones closely, and maintain a safe, age-appropriate environment. With specially trained teachers and small group sizes, infants receive the nurturing attention families value in home daycare, paired with the professionalism and consistency of a school-based program.
Even part-time enrollment in a school-based program gives your child the foundation they need to grow socially, emotionally, and academically.
