[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school day was already long for my young 5 yo, making extended day just too much. We switched to a sitter at home and had a happier kid.[/quote] It is a long day for the young 5 year olds. I had one too. She did extended day and was fine, but for the first few months of school a sitter would have been better. The trick is that in elementary there are monthly "early release" days, where extended day is a lifesaver. Our school was done at noon those days! But it barely made a blip on my radar because she just went to extended day. It also helped her solidify some friendships, because those kids stayed in ED too. The morning extended day is also great for the 2 hour delays in the winter, when there isn't much on the ground. School would open at 9, but we could still drop her at 8am.[/quote]
