> That really stinks.There aren't any other kids in the preschool who will be going to his kindergarten. And the kindergarten has bus service, but only to our house. That helps with pick-up in the morning, but they would drop him off in the afternoon when I'm not home.
> On the other hand, you could make it part of the kindergarten experience for him, without making too big a deal about the fact that it's a new preschool. Sort of like "Here's what your kindergarten day will look like.". And honestly, as little as he likes change (and yes, my son didn't either), he'll likely be more interested in going wherever his kindergarten buddies are going than he will be at seeing his old preschool once he makes some new friends.Yeah, I definitely see that happening. But whatever changes we make after he makes those new buddies will be so much easier, I think. Change now = losing his friends at the daycare. Change then = going where his new friends are.
> I don't know of a single half day kindergarten around here that doesn't offer an afternoon program, because so many parents work, but perhaps the new school has ideas for working parents. I'm sure you aren't the first one.I don't believe our school has before and after school care. I haven't talked to anyone at the school at length, yet, but those I have talked to have made me think I'm the only one in the world with this problem, I swear. I know I can't be, but wow, I thought there'd be a much easier solution than this.
