[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Thanks to everyone for the helpful input. For people advocating for PT programs - do you think it's more about the duration of the days or # of days a week? It seems as if our only option would be a FT place M-F where the core day is 9 am to about 4:30 pm but could pick up earlier around 330 (they say they prefer if stay for nap to adjust better). There *might* be a two days a wee 9-noon option - so big difference in terms of time. Not sure which would be easier for nanny to coordinate pickup and dropoff - noon seems kind of awkward?[/quote]

I think noon is fine for a pickup time; it gets awkward when younger sibs transition to one nap.

It’s length of day.  They thrive on the routine so I think 5 days is actually ideal for this age.  My oldest was in a 3 day program for a while at age 3, but most of the class went 5 days, and she absolutely noticed when she missed things like special events that fell on her off days.  But she (now 5) is wiped after a 9-1 preschool day.  Obviously many kids do much longer and that’s fine but it can be an adjustment.  I’m kind of nervous about kindergarten next year.

I think 9-3:30 will be long but it’s not unreasonable at all if that’s the timing that works out.[/quote]
