[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is he in prek for 5 hrs?? Ours is 9-12 MWF which is the perfect combo.[/quote]

Preschool not pre k and it just is.  It’s a great school but I wish it were shorter too.  All the good preschools in our area are four to five hours. But I’m a firm believer in five days a week.  [/quote]

^^ 5hrs/M-Fri is A LOT for a 3 yr old especially as a first timer.

Part of it is the sheer exhaustion of that long day and the other part is this very radical (at least to your 3 yrold) change in routine. Up until now, all she's ever known in her little universe is nanny. Now you've done a 180 on your 3 yr old and placed her in 5 hrs of preschool everyday.[/quote]

OP here.  Please stop.  My son had a three week transition to his school (hardly a 180) and looks forward to going every day.  He isn’t exhausted when he comes home - he simply wants time with his nanny.

Please try to stay on point.  We aren’t switching preschools and we truly think it’s what in our child’s best interest.  [/quote]

OP, no worries -- the rest of us have your back. We wound up putting our 3 yo in a 5 day a week program that was closer to 7 hours and it was amazing for her. Some kids really thrive in that structure and need the classroom environment versus being at home with a SAHM or nanny. We had a great nanny, too, who did lots of wonderful projects and set up the day well. But our kid needed the socialization and, frankly, to be out of the house. Being in another environment all day was wonderful for her and she flourished.

All kids are different.[/quote]
