[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the responses, if anyone can give me a general schedule idea I’d appreciate it.

PP was a bit harsh but not totally wrong either.

This is a level of detail you really don't need to know and can't expect to know more than a few weeks before school starts. Your child's teacher will reach out.[/quote]

I’m the harsh PP and, yeah, fair point. Apologies.

We’ve had a good experience at Brent. We found the transition from daycare into PK3 to be totally unremarkable. I don’t remember the schedule but it seems to work just fine for most 3-4 year olds. It’s still six months away for you so your child could be on a totally different schedule by then. They might drop naps for good though I hope for your sake your kid is like mine and holds on to naps until age 4-5. But kids are super adaptable and are capable of far more than we sometimes think.

We have often thought of Brent as having three different schools with it: PK/K, 1-3, and 4-5. Each of those groups of grades has a distinct vibe. The youngest is very nurturing and they are a little separate from the rest of the school. They don’t intermingle with the upper grades all that much except for book buddies and now on the bus to the swing space. (There are bus monitors and assigned seats in the front for the little kids because they have harnesses). Again, overall, it really didn’t feel that different to me than our daycare’s preschool room. A little more actual teaching going on but it’s still mostly play based. Our kiddo was happy there for sure. I just would try not to stress too much about the schedule. It is what it is and your child will adapt and, hopefully, thrive.
