Need some information please...

[Guest guest]

I joined this list-serv awhile back and although I do

not post I enjoy all the informative information I

gather here. I am now in some need of some information

and hope someone out there can help. I recently began

" transition " from EI to the school system here in NJ.

I was " blown away " to learn that my school systems'

preschool handicap program for the 3 y/o's meet daily

from 12:45 to 2:45. Polling numerous daycare centers

in my area I found that this is always nap/rest time.

I know putting my son on the bus at noon that he will

be asleep by the time he reaches school. I feel that

the time they are setting school for this age group is

not optimal learning time and that he will not get the

full benefit of school program...has anyone had this

problem? Does anyone have information that could help

me get a change for my sons' schedule? The other

elementary school in my district has it's preschool

program in the mornings and I would like to see him in

that program but feel I need some " scientific " backup

to support my wishes. Any help would be greatly

appreciated. Thanks, Kate (mother of Will, verbal apraxia)
