We are very fortunate here to get fully-funded 5 morning sessions a week at the local school's preschool unit, where DS started in Sept (he's now 3.6yo). There was very gradual settling in and the full 8.45-1.15 session only started at the beginning of Nov. Trouble is, DS is just exhausted by it. We try to let him flop about at home for a few hrs afterwards (while his sister naps) but by the weekends he really is soooo tired. Most weeks I've decided to not put him on at least 1 day of the week because he seems so tired (which some parents think is quite odd!) but I only work 2.5 days a week so can do this on the mornings I'm at home.
How long should it take before he adjusts to it without being so exhausted? He is enjoying preschool and wants to go, although some days does ask to stay home with me. He's normally very active so it's strange to see him so tired in the afternoons!
