[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FT preschool (i assume you mean 9-5 daycare) us asking a lot of your 3 yr old. That will be a super long day and a hard transition from what he's used to. Throw in TWO new (and needy)baby siblings and it will be miserable.

Is the coop preschool shorter? Like 9-12 MWF- type?  Have you asked about parent commitment? Not all coop are the same so just bc you both work FT doesn't mean you still can't be part of the classroom experience. [/quote]

Agree. 
"FT preschool" = daycare.
Preschool only lasts a few hours a day, preferably in the morning when the kids are fresh and ready to absorb the experience.  By afternoon, they are worn out.  It's a lot to put on a little kid.[/quote]

Yes, Family Daycares are Preschool too. Our Provider has CDA, she's a preschool teacher with a family daycare of 8 kids total. We love it!

Yes, most academic activities are in the morning  then they take a nice nap. But children recovers after the nap and they enjoy a nice afternoon in the Daycare eating snacks with their friends and babies, caregivers. Then they play free play inside. They choose their activity or just have free play with their friends.

Theres also a quiet room where kids go to lay down, read a book or watch the preschool drawings in the wall. That room is for kids who gets tired and got a lot of stimulation and needs an nice relaxing room for a bit.
But any kid can go there and read a book away from the noise.

An hour so so the kids go outside if they want to. There's 1 assistant inside with 2 babies and the other one is outside with the older kids and a baby.[/quote]

This sounds like our daycare too. Lots of home daycares have a prek program, with naps in the afternoon and lots of outdoor play. My kids all learned to read in our home daycare and were well-prepared for kindergarten. Not that you need that! But don’t assume all home daycares are just free play all day (which is fine too!).
