The reason I ask is that is exactly my thinking on it. In many cases it is easier for families if the facility is on site to bring a child into a specific project. Sometimes it is as simple as that. Although the ideal would be full integration into preschools, if there are opportunities, they may be worth considering. As I said, I have seen both models in action and I have seen it work well on site. However, that project was stopped. It goes back to a previous point I made. Sometimes they are discontinued and it is worth giving consideration to it.
