Child Care Centers & Nursery Schools-What are they?
A child care center is a facility which usually cares for a larger number of children than a family child care home. It's not usually found within a residential area, although it can be near apartment complexes or on-site within or outside of an employer's facility. Preschool/Nursery School is a program which is required to be licensed, but the children (usually between 3-5 years) are not in care for the whole day and only 2 or 3 days a week.
