[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our oldest child will be in K next year and our district voted in full day K for the first time next year. I can't decide if I want to keep her at her current school (parochial- we're not religious) or put her in the new public K.

Current school:
-She's been there for two years of PreK and has a solid group of friends/is very comfortable there
-It's at the end of our block so we walk her there and back everyday which is probably my favorite parts of the day
-The school hours are 7:45am-2:45pm and then we do aftercare til 4:15pm so I work from home 8-4, have her home by 4:30pm, and it's a really nice balance for all of us
-Tuition is $795/month plus aftercare $150/month

Public K:
-Is a brand new program that is combining 3 school districts to offer full day K at a satellite location. DD would be in the first class (possibly worried about kinks in the program).
-10 minute drive away (opposite direction of our younger child's daycare)
-School hours are 9am-3:30pm so we'd likely need before and after care. 
-No tuition[/quote]

The public option has more hidden costs even though the tuition is $0, and way more unknowns. It seems a no-brainer stay in the parochial school unless there's info you're not telling us. Is there something about the parochial school's curriculum that makes you consider public? Do you think your child is not on track with reading and math? Is there some religious stuff seeping in that makes you uncomfortable?[/quote]
