Moms, could you please help? My daughter has just started first grade. She didn’t attend kindergarten, and she is active and sociable. We were offered after-school care at school until 3:00 PM — she would be able to play, do activities, and a couple of times a week she could attend a club. I don’t work, so I’m wondering whether it’s worth leaving her there — I feel hesitant about it, and from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM would be tough. Then we have dance class three times a week at 5:30 PM; I’m worried about how she’ll cope with the adaptation and all that, but on the other hand she’ll have friends to interact with. Maybe she should start now and begin with the second half of the day?

Ну не зря у первоклашек первые дни по 2 урока и потом постепенно увеличивается нагрузка. До 15 не отправляла бы
Tatyana
Мне кажется не надо, пусть потихоньку привыкает, а там будете оставлять
Anyuta
Я не оставляла бы
Olesya
Зачем продленка, если вы не работаете? Погулять после школы можно и во дворе
Olga
Я вот свою первый день сегодня оставляю до 15 часов, там и покушает и уроки сделает, дома начинается баловство, то одно, то другое, то телефон, то планшет, там все сделает, надеюсь. 😀 пока я с маленьким, она уже придет, и будет свободна)

Klinduh Ekaterina Кстати в первом классе дз нельзя давать. Тогда в чем смысл продленки? Просто как передержка ребёнка для работающих родителей?
Olga
Olga Но мы во второй пошли
Olya
Продлёнка нужна работающим родителям. Точка
Natalya
Не оставлять, уроки там с ними не делают

Well, do whatever you want. They’ll take care of the lessons there, and you’ll end up with a child whose homework is already done. My son was fine there, but he did attend kindergarten. He’s already used to being around people. At home he does his lessons with shouting, but in the after-school program everything is great.

Klinduh Ekaterina Absolutely—you can do it all. To reinforce the material, there was daily homework, and the grades for it were recorded in the notebook.

Olga I'll definitely keep my child in the second grade; I want to go back to work.

In our first-grade class, the number of spots was limited, so we were forced to bring proof of employment.

Klinduh Ekaterina There will be some homework, but it's light and not too difficult—she basically handles it all herself.

Komarova Elena We also have limited capacity—only 13 spots—and the number of interested people already exceeds that. I haven't started finalizing any agreements yet.

Klinduh Ekaterina There was homework for the entire first-grade class.

Komarova Elena Then, of course not. Please give those who need it the opportunity to walk.

Evgeniya Valerevna Raschupkina Right now there won't be much homework—just a little to reinforce what she's learned. Basically, she does it herself. In second grade, I would already be sending it.

Ugh, I have to sit through the whole day at school.

You're being harsh. Obviously, it's much more enjoyable to sit at a desk in a uniform until 3:00 PM with someone else's aunt than to be at home, wandering around or lying on the couch next to your beloved mom.

My younger brother just started first grade.
Both of our parents work.
At our school, after-school care goes until 5:30 PM 😅.
But there's no choice—we'll be sending him there; he's actually excited about this news.
It's definitely better than him sitting home alone.

Klinduh Ekaterina Yes, we had something similar, but it was a private school that followed the parents’ instructions.
Essentially, in first grade the children covered what would normally take two grades.
They know the multiplication tables, read novels on their own, and speak English quite fluently.
Here, at least it's clear why the standards were bypassed; in a regular school, their classmates still haven’t mastered addition and subtraction without mistakes.

If I were in your shoes, I would keep an eye on your daughter during the first weeks.
After all, everyone's adjustment is different.
If you see that she has the energy and enjoys being around the other kids, you can keep her for after-school care.
And if she starts to get tired, you can always pick her up early for now, and come back to this idea later in the second half of the year 👍.
What matters most is watching your child—she'll tell you whether she's ready.
