[quote=Anonymous]My experience is different.  At our school, it appears the kids that have more significant challenges had the morning classes and the kids tha thad the lesser (relatively) challenges were in the afternoon.  My DS was 2.5 when transitioned from Infant Toddler to the FCPS special ed preschool and was placed in an afternoon class.  He was never in a morning class for the next three years.  I SO totally understand what you mean about the nap issue.  What 2 year old doesn't take a nap in the afternoon?  It's not like my DS doesn't have significant challenges, he does, and he was a bear if he didn't get a nap.  We were very concerned about this but the school insisted this was the best placement for our DS.  We weren't willing to NOT allow him in the special ed preschool so we accepted.

What made this work for us was that our in-home family daycare/preschool provider put DS down for a nap late morning rather than after lunch.  I don't know how well DS would have done, especially in the early years, if he didn't get a nap in the late morning.  He had lunch at the preschool (except on Mondays) so that wasn't an issue.  I never thought it would be possible but he did get used to it.

In my limited experience, I've never heard of anyone being allowed to attend a FCPS special ed preschool morning and afternoon (PAC classrooms notwithstanding).  But, for those of us who work, your kid is either going to be in daycare or a preschool.  The bus will pick up/drop off your child wherever you indicate.  Not everyone has the luxury of keeping their child at home with them.  HTH.[/quote]
