[quote=Anonymous]ECE Director here: Trust me, even children who have attended full day preschool childcare are tired the first month - or two or three - of kindergarten! Kindergarten now asks a LOT of children, given there are lots of children in the classroom, they move from classroom to lunchroom to playground in ways they never did in childcare, there are so many more people and rules in elementary school, iit's not playbased so there is lots sitting still and listening, t's a lot! Add in before/after care and a bus ride to/from school, and it's even more. So 9-12 is fine - even the fullday kids have a transition period. What you ware looking for is socialization, learning to get along in a group, to know you won't get everything when, how and why you want it, being more independent with carrying lunchbox, putting things away, hanging up coat, knowing where materials are kept in classroom and playground, etc. [/quote]
