Why is a five-day program the only option at the primary (pre-school and kindergarten) level?
Children in the three-to-six-year-old period of development have a need for order and routine. This helps them to understand, predict, and feel comfortable in their environment. A daily routine is particularly important in allowing children to plan and feel settled. Likewise, children adjust better to and benefit greater from an educational program when they attend class on a daily basis. With a routine in place, children have the opportunity to socialize and develop life skills in an environment that is prepared for their size and level of development.
