Abstract
Many school districts have begun implementing full-day, every day kindergarten programs as opposed to half-day, every day programs or full-day, alternate day programs. This study focuses on the issues and concerns involved when making the transition from a half-day or alternate day kindergarten program to a developmentally appropriate full-day program. A brief history of kindergarten is presented and research is examined and reported upon concerning areas of financial considerations, classroom set-up, organization and maintenance, curriculum development, and parental involvement for full-day kindergartens.
A survey of parents and guardians of future kindergarten students in a small, rural, Midwest, parochial school system that is considering a transition from a full-day, alternate day kindergarten schedule to one that meets full-day, every day is presented and discussed. Parental concerns expressed in the survey are addressed and recommendations are proposed.
