I know of 4 families with kids in morning classes there this year who have no siblings there.

They take very few new kids for the 3s class.

OP here. I know it's difficult to predict, but my currently 2.5-year-old takes a solid 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon, and I can't imagine she'll be ready to entirely give up a nap by next fall. There are other scheduling concerns as well.

Why is this the case? All the morning slots are taken up by incoming siblings every year?

What do you not want an afternoon spot?

I keep hearing that first-time applicants (no siblings) who are accepted at NCRC are *always* offered an afternoon slot (at least in the three-year-old classes). Is this really the case? Is there any point in applying if I know I don't want an afternoon slot?
