pre-k poll
Our district offers FD and HD. The majority of kids are FD, I think there may only be 1 HD class.

pre-k poll
Our district doesn't have pre-K. I sent mine to a private one more just for social aspect. I'm totally fine with the district not having it- I kinda feel like that isn't really the school responsibility yet. If you want your 4 year old to be in "school" then that's your choice. I don't know - we didn't even have full day Kindergarten when we went.. and I know its a different time and they expect more - I just don't think a school district "needs" to provide pre-k.

this is true FT is also useless for working parents.
OP what daycare do you use. when my kids went the whole daycare was really kind of setup as a school setting. as they got older it was treated more like a school setting and by PREK they basically did a school setting from 9-4 and then before and after that i guess it was less a school setting meaning no lesson plan or that much structure.
It's a woman who watches from her home with 1-2 helpers depending on the day.. They do crafts and stuff like that, but it's not really structured like a school. I will say, they really limit the TV which I like, and the woman is really great about applying for tons of grants to buy STEM toys and puzzles for the kids. She has gotten a ton of things funded in the last couple of years. So the kids are definitely learning and everything, but it's still not the same routine as a regular daycare center... I just get so angry seeing all these city schools getting full day pre-k (and some getting full day 3-k!), and much of LI is still like 2 hours per day or nothing at all
Have you thought about moving her to a more structured center then? My SD doesn't have FT pre-k so I will be keeping my son where he is - once they turn two it starts to get set-up more like scool - morning meeting, centers etc.

Re: pre-k poll
My district offers 1/2 day prek, but it is a lottery, and there is preference for those with kids already in the district. It is limited to 20 kids. We did not even apply as it was my understanding that 19 of the 20 kids were siblings. We paid out of pocket for 1/2 day prek for both kids.

My district has full day pre-k for all, but location is not guaranteed (though you provide first choice). They also offer half day pre-k if desired.
