Hellobee Boards

We are in private Montessori kindergarten. Class is 8:15-3:15. They have built in extended day child care that begins at 6 am and ends at 6pm so my kids get to school by 8:15 but stay until 5:30. The public schools follow the same class time. Next year, when she goes to public school I plan to drop off by 8 am and possibly bus her to the same private after school care she is going to now. Or if I can adjust my schedule to do a 3:15 pickup every day,that is an option, but I will still have my DS as pre-schooler in the private school so might as well get them both from the same place..
Cut off date here is 9/1

My DD is in second grade now, but when she was in kindergarten the dropoff was between 8:05 and 8:20 a.m. There is an early-care option that starts at 7:50 but at an extra fee. Her class had one main teacher but they also had P.E. and music with different teachers. They had a "rest" time after lunch for kids who needed to nap; kids who didn't want to nap could look at books quietly. Pickup was at 3:15 but we paid for aftercare until 6, which involved a different extra-curricular activity every day until 4:30 and then free play at the playground after that.

Age cutoff was you had to turn 5 before Sept 30.

This is a Louisiana public school. Also she had homework starting in the second semester, which involved one small assignment per night in addition to reading one book out loud.

Check your local district website and it should also have info posted if you want more details.

I'm basing this on the elementary school I work at and district I live in.
