Agreed. I absolutely hate to say this, but 9-10 hours- 5days/week in a school at ages 2-4 years old is waaaaayyyy too long.

Even if you need to work longer--I'd seriously consider getting a sitter after 3pm so the child can decompress, etc. and have some one-on-one or alone time.

Even the best full-day preschools do not have any scheduled curriculum after the naptime--post 3pm.  They really just function as extended day and I often find them to be chaotic after that time...kids and staff are worn out, etc.  Most of the behavioral problems really escalate then too.

The only legitimate studies I've seen with any negative correlation on daycare/preschool is the correlation between aggressive and defiant behavior and over 30 hours/week in a center.

Our preschool is open 7am-6pm, but the Director states that it is not intended to be used for that full-time everyday by any one child.  It merely accomodates different parental work schedules.  [/quote]
