Is afternoon preschool okay for an almost 2 year old? DS will be 22 months when it starts. I like the idea of not rushing around in the morning becaue my DS does like to sleep late, but I'm worried that he will be miserable without a nap. It's not actually preschool, it's just a preschool run playgroup, so it's only 1 day a week. Will going to bed early & sleeping extra long the next day be enough for him? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

We enrolled our 2yr old in an afternoon preschool program this year. He did well: relax/nap for 45 minutes right before school or a micro nap after school. He eventually grew out of his nap--so even on non-school days he goes napless. [ Reply | More

my ds was done napping by 2, but his behavior was not good in the afternoon so he wouldn't have been able to handle that. but every kid is different. [ Reply | More

I think it would be hard. Ds kept his nap until 3. During 2s would have melt downs at 5 if no nap. Depends on the child, though. [ Reply | More

He will get used to it, kids do adjust. My kids had dropped their afternoon nap at that age, but they do go to bed by 7pm, but wake up early 7am at the latest. Since yours sleeps late, I think he will be fine. He will certainly not be miserable during the playgroup/class since he will love to be with other kids and play with the toys there. Afterwards he may be tired and apt to sleep early. [ Reply | More
