My daughter will be attending preschool in Sept 2 days a week. Mon and Fri. I sort of feel it is too spread out, I was late registering and these were the only openings available. What do you all think?
I guess it isnt that big of a deal but I do prefer M and W. I am going to ask to be on the list for W. (Fingers crossed)
I would take it for now, get her started, and get on the wait list for Wednesday. When Wednesday comes up (and it will), switch to M/W or W/F...or just add it, if she loves it and you can afford it. Why? b/c if there are holidays or the school takes a day off for whatever reason, it will *always* be on a M or a F. When we did M/F for a class, if felt like every month there was a cancelled class (that we still paid for).
I guess those two days wouldn't be my first choice either, but preschool will be good for her. Unless you're interested in trying to find another school, go for it! She really might love it! Also, sometimes kids drop out because of a parent's work schedule or they just aren't ready or whatever. Another day could open up. I would let them know that you're interested in adding a day if one becomes available.
Don't worry, just have fun with it :-)
I think it will be fine and that she'll love it. And like others have said, it's possible that another day will open up.
I would do it. I know it's not ideal, but honestly, just getting him started will be good. Plus, she won't really know the difference and the days between Friday and Monday aren't that bad, it's just the M to F part that is long. I also agree that another day might open up so just talk to the director and put her on a waiting list. I'm sure she'll love it!
She will love it! Usually, you can get on the waiting list for another day.
I'd ask!
I'm sure your daughter will be fine, she doesn't know any different, right? She will just know that she goes to school every 3 or 4 days. Good luck!
I guess I don't see what the big deal is...My kids went to preschool and I didn't care what days it was, she'll be fine.
it will be fine.. preschool is for socializing with other kids. learning to be more independent.. separating from mom..
some kids go Tu- Thu.. but then there is 4 days between Thu and Tues again.. no big deal.
my kids had various schedules...( I work contract..) M- Th Tu-F... then M- W - F.. it was all good.
I agree with you. When my son started, he was MWF and after a few months he went M-F. I realized, at least with us, he liked it much better when it was daily and I would have been better off schheduling him M-W, for example, when i started him part time. It seemed that once the routine was set as daily, he flourished and really enjoyed going every day. Perhaps this was just a coincidence as well since this was the first time in this type of environment (prior to this he was home with me/sitter while I worked). When it was every other day, he did not seem to get into the swing of it and seemed more unsettled as he was not sure what to expect each day. This may have been just him though. Your daughter may be fine with it. Good luck,
