That is a funny story, and I remember that commercial.We did 4.. I miss our Wednesdays so much, we would just spend the whole day together. Every Wednesday we’d go on an outing, was wonderful to not have the weekend crowds.
This is kind of similar to the preschool that I went to. I’m the oldest of 3, my mom was a SAHM. My brother was born shortly after I turned 3 years old.. after that my mom enrolled me in preschool for Mom,Wed,Fri. It was a Montessori school, but was on a church’s property, as previously mentioned, we’re Catholic, but that school was Baptist or Non Denominational, can’t remember.
It was a co-op, so the parents had to take turns volunteering to help the teacher- read to us, help with crafts, etc.
Funny story from when I was 4 at that school (one I don’t remember..but it’s written in my Baby Book) -
Apparently, myself and another girl asked to use the restroom. We didn’t come back to class in a timely manner. Teacher went to see what was going on.
We had stuck OUR HEADS IN THE SINK.. and then used soap to lather our hair. We were singing “I’m going to wash that gray right out of my hair!” Over and over.
Needless to say, We got in trouble.
My mom still laughs about it, but she was angry that day.
Oops!
Wow, where do you live? I didn’t know anyone required full day. We did full, but it was about 50/50. Half the kids were half day.

The kindergarten where we live now is a full day at all the elementary schools. Just a few years ago when the older 2 were in school, it was still half day. Ds went to afternoons and I loved that. I would take him and younger dd(just 3 kids then) to Barnes and Noble in the mornings and look at the books, then walk in the mall. Mostly I took care of all the household chores so the afternoons could be focused on helping with homework and after school activities.
