The school board can no longer pretend this is just a fringe group complaining about their broken policies. This momentum proves that parents in Hampton Township are tired of being ignored while their children get left behind.

Looking to move up to the North Hills. Hampton is our first choice, but unfortunately if they do not offer full day kindergarten then we will have to move else where.

Having moved from a district with full-day kindergarten to one with half day we're already seeing the difference in what our child is getting out of school. A full day program is the way to go for most families and children. Please help make this happen for our kids' education!

Thanks for doing this, having an opportunity for play based learning and full day option would be great. We wanted to send our oldest to Hampton but couldn’t due to our work schedules and found that the private school we sent her to did not adequately prepare her for first grade at Hampton. Being able to have our kids attend Hampton schools from the start would be better for the kids all around.

This has been a huge stressor for me over the years. I am tired of being stressed. I think that a change is needed to improve the quality of life for our children and our families. Hampton Township is a wonderful district but our kindergarten children are not being offered everything that Hampton offers the grades 1+. We are a highly rated district, but the kindergarten programs in other schools and districts are much more welcoming to change than our district.

I would have loved to have had this option instead of paying to send my child somewhere else with a full day program. Seeing the more relaxed structure of a full day program that allows so much time for play based learning and peer interaction, I believe there is major value and opportunity for much more growth with a full day option.

I can vouch that this has affected my family and level of income that we used to get with both parents working. Now only one works and it has affected our quality of life.

This is our number one stress.

Thank you for bringing this to light! The logistics of sending my daughter to a 1/2 day kindergarten continue to be stressful in our two income household.
