In my state, it is actually required for them to charge for it unless the child is 'at risk'. Your friend has the option of having her child enrolled only in traditional part-day kindergarten. She chooses not to. So she pays. Yes, actually, in many states if you want the child to attend all day kindergarten instead of part-day kindergarten, you do pay a fee.

I dont think He shouldnt have to pay now but if hes really giftedhe may have to go to a ptivate school in maybe 5th grade or something. i dont know much about deleware but in north carolina my nephew was really smart and they let him go into second grade math skills every day and didnt charge him in kindergarten, but my daughters just went to a gifted class once a week.

Period. Some Kindergartens are full day and some are half. You don't pay a fee because it's full day. You don't pay if your child is advanced. It's all free. The only thing I can think of that she may be talking about is extended care. Most school systems offer SAC (school after care) programs that you must pay for. But it's not Kindergarten - it's childcare/babysitting. Public school is free. Period. Some Kindergartens are full day and some are half. You don’t pay a fee because it’s full day.

I think the kids would enjoy it and learn at the same time. Its a great idea that I think I will use when my pre-k students, I mean using Jump Frog Jump and the lily pad number line. They love that story. Thanks for the idea! You could have Jane jump 3 spaces and then John could could jump 2 spaces, then ask the students how many spaces were jumped in all?

You could use die cuts or poker chips, or whatever for the flies. So lets say some children have 1, or 2, or 3 or 4 flies, etc. Then you hold up a number, say 5, and the children must pair up with a partner to make that number. Then you can discuss that if the number was 5, then there are different combinations, like 1 +4, or 2+3. This could be applied to any other story book. Just find items that match the story.

This is PUBLIC school, it is FREE for ALL students! Ask the school for their written policy that states they have to pay. Send this policy to the state dept of education and ask if this policy is correct. If it is, ask them why. NO!! This is PUBLIC school, it is FREE for ALL students!

My kids could both read and write by 4 years old. But lots of kids can't. Knowing how to cope socially is FAR more important than where they are academically.
