For actual preschool we did 2 years and that included summer school.  She started right when she turned 3.  She went from 12-3pm 5 days a week.

Baz starts in the fall, he'll be 2.5 and will go twice a week from 9-12:30. No summer to start with, but that may change as he gets older. The amount of time he's there will increase as he gets older. His preschool feeds into elementary school, but I can't remember if kinder is a full day or not.

When my son goes to school he'll have been in preschool (not daycare) for 3 school years and we go to their summer "camp" sessions.  We do full day M-F and ciriculum starts at 9 and runs to about 4.  We do before/after school care so he's there playing around 7:30 and we pick up by 5:30.

This school accepts children for the new school yr in Sept that turn 2 by the previous June 30.  It one of the only schools I found on the peninsula that offer before/after school care for preschool aged children. It matriuclates up to a K-4 private school.

Ori started at 2.5. So it was 2 years roughly. She started out at 2 days a week for about 3 hours. Then she moved to 2 days a week, 8:30-3:00pm. Now she goes 3 days a week 8:30-3:00 then to daycare from 3:00 to 5:30. She absolutely loves it and has from the very beginning. Next year, Kindergarten 5 days a week, full day! She can't wait.

2 mornings a week when he was 2, 3 mornings when he was 3, 4 afternoons of Pre-K at 4. So three years total of preschool.

Grey did 1 and a half years, and summer session. 

The first 6 months he did 2 days a week, 9 - 12:30

The rest of the time (including summer) he did 3 days a week, 9-12:30...but there was an after care option so I usually left him until 1pm or 2pm, because he loved it so much.

Both boys will have had three years + summers. They both also attended the Mommy and Me Class at the same school (not sure if that counts as preschool).

Jake currently goes two mornings a week 9 to 11:30, Ty four mornings 9 to 11:30 (as well as an hour of EI a week). Ty will attend the summer program that is geared for kinder prep. Depending on the day, the boys might stay as late as 12:30/1 in the after school care.

DC #1 started just 2 months shy of 3 yo and was in it for 2 years.  5 days a week, full time.

DC#2 started at 2.5 years on the dot and goes 3 full days a week.  I'll probably drop him to 2-1/2 days in the summer.  He'll go until he turns 5 and starts kindergarten.

Andrew will have had 1 1/2 year prior to starting transitional kinder so I guess if I count that as preschool as well then 2 1/2 years.

I expect Cooper will have 2-21/2 years.  The difference is due to one Nov. bday and one Feb bday.

JLK is in a art/science thing right now we just started. Its 2 days a week 3 hrs a time. Next year we will do real preschool 2 days a week 3 hours a class till december then re-evaluate and maybe up her to 3 days a week,

So one yr 2 days a week 3 hrs a class for sure. Then maybe 3 days a week

Charlie starts preschool in the Fall, he will be 2.5. He will go 2x a week from 8:30-11:00. We plan to enroll him in a different preschool the following year (he's too young to go there now). I'm not sure what their schedule is like but I'd like to move him to 3 days a week.

EJ will be starting in the fall at 2 years and 9 months.  He will be doing either 2 half days or 2 full days.  We have not decided yet.

 He will do 2 years pre-school, one year at 2 days a week (most likely half days) and 1 year at 3 half days a week, 1 year pre-kindergarden which is 4 half days, and 1 year kindergarden 5 half days.  The preschool is independent of the pre-k we plan to send him to.  The pre-k school is pre-k to 8th grade which is the plan with that.

Ryan started at 2.5 yrs, twice a week for 2.5 hours.  6 months later, he was at 3 days.  At 4.5yrs, he was going 5 days a week for 3 hours.  Aaron started at 2.5, 2 days a week, then went to 5 days at 3.5.  Next year, at 4.5yrs, he'll only be going 4 days.

DS started at 2y3m going 3 days for 4 hours. At 3+, he added one full day to that and at 4+ he'll likely go 5. When he starts kinder at 5 he'll have three full years of preschool.
