Question How do you say...?

Hi,
Hoy do you say Day Program in Spanish? Not as in Programa del día.
Some kids go to school, others do a Day Program...

I'm translating an assessment questionnaire and the question is:
Does client attend to school or day program?

In this case, I think day program refers to some type of alternative classes/studies/education as opposed to going to school. It could be for kids or adults. But to be honest, I'm not sure exactly what it means, so I'm not sure how I would translate it.

How about:

Does the client attend school or a day program?
¿El cliente asiste a la escuela o está en otro sistema de educación?

I found this ad for a day program instructor, and it sounds like it would be someone who takes care of disabled kids who can't go to school.

the only translation I have found is "Programa de trabajo, escuela o diurno" for "WORK, SCHOOL OR DAY PROGRAM" and sounds odd.

I would go like Tomisimo

¿El cliente asiste a la escuela o a un programa de educación alternativa?
