[quote=Anonymous]I understand you want to keep details to yourself, so you don't need to share, but I think it's worth considering the possible long-term impact.

You say you are at a HRCS, but obviously that can mean a lot of things on this board.  It's worth talking to the school though, to see if they will hold your spot for a year (ours will a spot for a year, in certain circumstances).  If they will hold the spot, then that's a totally different calculus.  If the HRCS you're describing has a MS or a feeder path or a MS/HS, you should at least think about those things (if you don't love your IB feeder path).  It doesn't have to be the deciding point, but I think you would kick yourself in a few years for turning that down without weighing it in your decision.

I also second the PP who suggested hiring someone as an after-school nanny/sitter.  We did that for PK3 and it made a huge difference.  Even though my child was coming from daycare to PK3, it is a long day (as you point out).  Having the flexibility for someone to assess the mood/temperament of the day and decide what was needed that day (sometimes quiet art time, sometimes more outdoor time, sometimes story time) was incredibly helpful.  While it was a lot more than after care, it was certainly less than private pre-school.[/quote]
