Daycares (child care centers) typically offer full-day care across a wide age range, often from infancy. Preschools focus on early learning for roughly 2.5 to 5 year-olds and may run part-day. Montessori and Reggio-inspired programs follow a specific educational philosophy. Many Naperville centers blend full-day care with a preschool curriculum.
Many center-based programs accept infants (some as young as six weeks) through pre-K, and some through school-age; preschool-only programs usually start around age 2.5 to 3. Confirm the exact minimum age and program options with each center.
