hi mummies do u all prefer kindy (ie 4-5.5hr extended kindy) or childcare and care to share your rationale e.g. especially if your kids have experienced both before. Any idea if those extended cc prog are too tiring for kids and nap at cc is better for them? Thank you :)

I have tried full day infant care and 4 hour playgroup for my toddler -14 months. I think it really depends on whether you are a working Mum and need someone to take care of baby till evening. If it's just for interaction and play/learning then 3-4 hours a day is ample. For full day it has sleep time and more meal times included

i would prefer childcare. first of all the fees. to me. aft subsidies and calculation, just a few dollars more for a full day childcare completed w meals and naptime. And i prefer napping at cc. they won't struggle and debate with you on nap times. Back at home they refuse to nap!

Childcare for me too. As i am a working mum, even with support from my mom to help me care for my Lo. a full day childcare just works out better. In terms of fees and time. My mom will be there as a backup during school closure date & sick days

Cc for me due to the cost. It is simply not worth to send for half day. For those 2-3hours I feel they won't learn much. As the main reason for me to send him to kindy would be to socialise n learn independence
