I do think there's some distinction in the US between kindergarden and day care (and it's too early to find the wikipedia articles to back this up, my apologies...) so more generally speaking -- the distinction is that kindergarden has government certified teachers and probably under stricter regulation. In some states, including NY I believe - its actually mandatory, where forms of day care are not.
