Right. But in-school 3-k still suffers the problem that there's no real after-school care out of school or in-school (through a third party) -- the providers that I know of begin in Kindergarten at the earliest.

So what it means is that even a "full day 3-k" program means that a parent would have to pick up their child at 2 p.m., which is difficult in a two-worker household. So they'd rather keep their kids in a daycare, where the kid can be picked up later.
