'If you're worried that your child isn't ready for kindergarten, you're not alone.' One mom shares what she learned after a year of full-day kindergarten.
A year ago, I was the most organized I’ve ever been in my entire life for back to school. Lunch boxes, backpacks, outfits and supplies were purchased in advance and neatly stowed away. Batch-baking recipes—evenof September—were written out. If you have met me in real life or follow me on Twitter, you know this sort of organization is out of character. I’d like to say it was all my doing, but the truth is, my five-year-old daughter, Gillian, spearheaded most of it..
, and the hectic pace of full-day kindergarten led to her be sick and grouchy. At the time, I really hated kindergarten.One of the common misconceptions about full-day kindergarten is that it’s “just like daycare.” It’s a phrase I’d heard frequently back when the program was first implemented across Ontario, but it was often used in a derogatory manner by skeptics who weren’t entirely convinced of the value of starting an early-learning program in schools.
