[quote=Anonymous]We’re in a totally different situation because we had daycare and then preschool starting at 3 (we’re in DC) but both of my kids (now 6 & 3 so the youngest is in preK 3 now) love/d preK and really thrive/d there. They are both very social, outgoing kids though, so they love that interaction with other kids. They would have been bored without somewhere to go every day. They also really benefit from the structure and the range of activities. My 3yo has fun, is excited about his day, and is learning - not just letters and numbers but he’s showing off things he learned in dance class. He gets excited about the books they read that day. They both gain a lot of independence through preK. It was/is good for them to have a relationship with adults that are not part of the family.

He goes full day, which is 8-3 and that’s really perfect for us, but their structured day is really just in the morning. Then they have lunch, nap, and there’s basically just playtime and snack for the last hour before pickup. I think a morning preK program would have a lot of the same benefits. [/quote]
