Rachelle Sunderland Cook: Yes!!! My first daughter went to full day in Middletown - more hours of education!!
Christine Lineberger: It makes life so much easier on working parents but it is a long day for wee ones not accustomed to daycare/preschool. They should have full day with a rest/nap time.
Carolann Ferrell: No way they are still babies. They have to grow up fast enough.
Ben Dinsmore: About time. Half day kindergarden is great if you can afford not to work. Its a hassle for everyone else.
