My son is in kindergarten and it's an all day program. I think that he is fine in this class. But they do have an extended quiet time in the afternoon. So maybe I would feel differently if it were more like first grade where the children are pushe...
I think it depends on a lot of factors. My daughter has an October birthday. She could have started K when she was 4, almost 5. She will be 6 in a few weeks and all day K is a great choice for her. She would be so bored only going half day.

I totally agree; I'm a working mom, so by necessity, my kids are already used to all-day programs - and I'll be counting on kindy to provide an all-day program, supplemented with after-school care at my girls' daycare/preschool.

Hi Stacy, how r things?? All is well here. Been busy the last couple of days cleaning up the yard, shop, and such. I love getting things ready & cleaned up for the summer season.

Been a busy day. Went to a baby shower for a good part of the afternoon and then to the annual NAFD chicken feed. Yummy:)
Just took my little man for a ride. He wouldn't eat (throwing on the floor) and wouldn't sleep but was really whiny. Took him for a ride and he's OUT! Off to shower......yea!
