[quote=Anonymous]As for the long day, I think the day might *feel* longer to some kids even if the hours are the same. If your child is in before-care, that's one transition, then they transition to the classroom and do their stuff there. Nap is 90 minutes, like 1:30-3, and for some kids that's not really enough so then they're tired, until their sleep cycle adjusts to it and their night sleep pattern compensates. Then the day wraps up with some low-key afternoon activities, and then they transition to after-care which might be a mixed-age group and not their familiar classroom and familiar teacher. With all those transitions, it might feel more stressful. And of course, the going to school at all is a transition from whatever they were doing before. Of course, if you're putting them in a language school and the language is new to them, that makes for a very tiring day until they get used to it.[/quote]
