We’ll try to address each of these question briefly here. For more detail we’ve included this link to a Massachusetts Kindergarten Fact sheet offered by Strategies for Children. You can view the fact sheet here. Full Day versus Half Day Kindergarten There is very little if any controversy on this issue. A full day kindergarten curriculum provides a much richer and comprehensive educational experience for children and greatly aids in the transition and preparation of children for elementary school. The problem is that 39% of kindergarten children are not able to attend full day kindergarten because it is either not offered by the town or the limited slots prevent complete participation. If at all possible seek out a full day kindergarten program but opt for half day if it is the only option available. Do not skip kindergarten because only a half day program is available. (See “Is kindergarten mandatory” below.) How much is kindergarten tuition? Only 48% of school districts in Massachuse

Kindergarten is not mandatory in California. Children who turn 6 years old by December 2nd must enroll that year in a public school or one of the alternatives to public school. Once your child approaches school age, you can read about your different legal alternatives on the CHN How To web page.
