- NEW!

All day kindergarten often means 2 full days of kindergarten with 3 full days off at home. I teach full day kindergarten and have had 3 of my 4 kids so far in 2 day a week full days. Our family loves it and would not switch to 5 half days of kindergarten. My kids rarely missed school due to sickness as they always had lots of down time at home to play and just be kids. We also enjoyed having our kindergartener home 5 full days a week (including the weekend) which as parents, we loved!!
As far as a better educated individual, preschool, kindergarten and the early childhood years are extremely important but just as important, if not more, is the child's home environment. Good nutrition, lots of sleep, tonnes of exposure to early literacy and math, and a family that values the education of a young child gives that child a head start no matter how early or late they started school.
Who is excited and nervous at the same time about their kid going to school for the very first time?
