Full-Day or Half-Day? Which one should I choose?
Full-Day or Half-Day? Which one should I choose?
When a child attends full-day kindergarten, they receive more experiences that help them grow and develop academically and socially. These include things like lunch, recess, additional structured social play, and extra time to practice and reinforce their academic learning. They will attend 1 Art, 1 Music, 2 STEM, and 3 PE classes per week. Half-day kindergarten will have 1 Art, 1 Music, 1 STEM, and 2 PE classes per week. Half-day kindergarten students are assigned to either the AM or PM section.
At this time, we do not offer half-day kindergarten at Anderson School. Half-Day Kindergarten is located at another St. Charles Elementary School, and our students are transported there.
