[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC did a 3 day part-time nursery school in Brooklyn.  We moved to DC and were able to get him into a PK4 program at one of the popular charters.  Also, I noticed that people switch in DC for K and 1st so I don't think it is impossible if you wait.

However, I think you should apply and see where you get in and make a decision then.  Your child may be okay and surprise you.  Many of the PS3 programs in DC are play-based.  If you look at the actual schedule, they spend most of their time napping, eating and playing!  [/quote]

+1 (and back to original question) --

keep in mind that PK3-4 is not complusory.  While the school rightly may object parents treating it like an ad hoc babysitting service, they're usually pretty tolerant and flexible of parents picking up early or adapting to their child's needs.  "Full day" only lasts until 3-3:30.  You can skip aftercare if that's an issue, or join aftercare at a later time (though you may want to reserve space earlier if limited, even if you don't fully utilize it).  K and up is a different story, where attendance and being on-time are mandated.  Keep in mind that private daycare/preschools usually offer full day and some parents pretty much come and go as they please.[/quote]
