Depending on the school (and assuming you're looking in the USA) they are based on development. Infants need a lot of one on one attention, toddlers a little bit less as they are starting to venture out on their own, 3 and 4 year olds like to do things themselves and often their classrooms look like mini homes. It becomes more academic and there is more structure, responsibility and sitting still the older they get. Some schools, like Waldorf keep the independence in learning throughout and often do not teach reading until later ages and offer Kindergarten like it was 30 or so years ago (much like preschool is now). They also have the older children create their own text books rather than read or memorize things as much of public school has. Every private school has its differences whereas public schools generally run with the same structure but might vary a lot depending on the teachers. Most preschools and infant care centers are private because they are not mandatory so if you are researching them you'll want to ask lots of questions and make sure it's right for you. The corporate ones can be conveniently located but they tend to be similar to puppy mills and do not cater to your child's individual interests as much as independent preschools do.

All the classrooms meet the child's needs depending on the developmental stage they are at. As children get older the focus becomes more academic. An infant classroom allows infants to be on a semi schedule, but do what they need, when they need. The goal is to then move toward a constant, but flexible, schedule. As they get older the structure increases.
