Sadly because most parents do not view any curriculum offered in an in-home childcare with a mixed age group as "preschool". Here the general consensous is that family child care is family child care where as preschool is taught by an educated teacher in a school like setting.
I don't agree, but that is the norm for most parents in my area....despite what education and curriculum a provider offers, it is still NOT preschool in their eyes.
