My kid finishes at 3:00 every day. I think it’s way too early. Especially since all the other schools dismiss preschool at 3:30/4:00.
(For those not in NY, pre1A is the grade before first grade)

I think 3 is too late. Young children ideally should spend most of their hours at home with their family.
They are not doing much learning then anyways because they are so tired at that point.
They are still so young.
I understand your frustration but try to see the upside of this.
Mine is home before 1 :30 but not in NY.

Absolutely but it's not inherintly bad. If it works with your lifestyle, having a bored toddler at home is actually great for them.
OP didn't specify why she finds it hard but I am just pointing out the advantage to the child.

It’s hard for me because I work full time and have to hire a babysitter to take him off the bus. But my neighbors who send to different schools don’t have to take their kids who are the same age off the bus until after 4:00

Lakewood. Boy ends at 2.
He stays for clubs until 3 (that I pay extra for)
I wish my school would do like some other Lakewood schools and end at 3 or 3:15.
Finishing at 2 is really a short day. He's already 6, not a toddler.

That is really short. Our nursery program (year before pre1) ends at 2 unless you do extended day. I assume its a single curriculum? My boys have kodesh and chol already in pre1a which is why the day ends later.

Holdover from R Aharon.
R Aharon Kotlet held that when boys are learning to read hebrew not to also add English and math.
In theory I agree. My primary boys learn to read Hebrew fluently in primary and English in 1st grade. There's virtually no confusion in trying to learn to read 2 languages simultaneously. And they learn to read English quickly and efficiently.
As opposed to my daughter and her friends who learned both in primary and struggled a lot more. Learning 2 languages at 5, 2 directions. It was hard
I just don't like that they come home so early so BH there are clubs.
Some Lakewood schools have started an hour or 2 of English in primary (they gor til 3 or 3:15). It's abc, numbers, and reading readiness.
We'll see if more schools do. I think they will because more and more parents in general are sending to playgroups until 3 and need the longer hours
