DIFFERENCES The term ''Pre-kindergarten'' is often used interchangeably with the concepts "nursery school", " Day Care ", and " Child Care "; however, these other early childhood settings focus their goal on subsitutionary care for children while their legal parents/guardians are absent. They could involve academic training, or they could involve solely Socializing activities. Pre-kindergartens, though, differentiate themselves by ''equally'' focusing on harvesting a child's (1) Social development, (2) physical development, (3) Emotion al development, and (4) Cognitive development. They commonly follow a set of state-created teaching standards in shaping curriculum and instructional activities/goals. The term " Preschool " more accurately approximates the name "pre-kindergarten", for both focus on harvesting the same four child development areas in impartial fashion. Preschools often refer to such schools that are privately or Ecclesiastical ly owned and operated. Pre-kindergartens refer to such school classrooms that function within a Public School under the supervision of a public school administrator and funded completely or partially by state or federally allocated funds. K-4 "K-4" is often (and controversially) used interchangeably with "pre-kindergarten". Although Early Childhood Education experts criticize the use of the term as a way to rationalize utilizing a kindergarten model and teaching kindergarten skills in pre-kindergarten classes, public school districts continue to incorporate the term as a way to integrate pre-kindergarten into the stable of Accountability under the No Child Left Behind Act .
