Does/Did anyone have their kindergarten age child in before school care/after school care?
This could be a reality for us... not sure yet... but I'm terrified that DS is not going to adjust well.
He's been in daycare since 4 months. 10 - 11 hours a day. He loves it. He's popular, smart, has tons of friends... really seems to enjoy it. But it's what he knows... he's been doing it forever... When he starts kindergarten in September, it will be a new school, no one from daycare is going to the same school, and even though he'll be away from me the same number of hours, I feel like it is so much longer of a day for him because of all the new things. I'm absolutely terrified of how he will react (and how I will...).
Can anyone share their experience with me? Did your child enjoy it? Adjust well? Specific issues?
I appreciate any and all advice/experiences.
Thank you!

Yes, we did. She went to day care from the beginning of time too- then when kindergarten started she went to SCOPE before and after school. The hours were just the same as beofre- it was still a log day but she was used to it. She enjoyed it bc they played games and met kids that weren't just in her class. Preschool was in the past for her- she met new friends and had fun! There are lots of kids who do scope so if he goes they'll be lots of friends to make.

Yes, my daugter went to before and after in Kindergarten. K was also 1/2 day so she went to K-wrap after the morning session and Kindergarten in the afternoon. She LOVED it! She only went two days a week and begged to go more. She also did not know anyone from daycare and quickly made friends. She felt like a big kid. My middle child will go next year and can't wait. I was nervous at first as well, but kids adjust quicker than we do I think.

My sin was in daycare/preschool from 8 until 6. Now he is in Kindergarten/after care 8 until 6. He adjusted fine. The first week or two he wasnt sure he liked after care but I think that is because it was "different". Now he loves it.

I haven't yet but I eventually will. The before care/after care in my district is great and it is housed in each elementary school. Hopefully it won't get cut though!
