Are you a working parent constantly juggling the demands of work and parenthood? Can your child’s school be your partner in achieving both good employment and family harmony?
Recent groundbreaking research from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) reaches a powerful conclusion: the length of your child’s school day can directly influence your career trajectory. This comprehensive study, spanning 30 years, reveals how full-day kindergarten has significantly transformed the lives of working parents, especially mothers.
Your Career, Reimagined: The NBER study found that full-day kindergarten significantly boosts mothers’ likelihood of employment, including full-time work and more weeks on the job. In fact, these expansions contributed to an astounding 24% of the growth in employment among mothers of kindergarten-aged children over the past three decades! This isn’t just about getting a job; it’s about the ability to engage more intensively and consistently in your career, opening doors to greater professional stability and advancement.
At the same time, the longer school day agrees with a wealth of other research showing that a longer school day has positive effects on student learning. This means you can pursue your employment goals with peace of mind, knowing your child is thriving academically in a stimulating environment.
Reclaim Your Day, Reduce Your Stress: Imagine a workday without midday dashes for pickup, or the constant juggle of piecing together fragmented childcare. The research clearly shows that mothers with children in full-day kindergarten work more during school hours and spend less time on daily childcare logistics. This frees up precious time for professional focus, continuous work blocks, and ultimately, a reduction in the daily stress of the childcare puzzle.
Financial Freedom and Simplified Logistics: Beyond time, full-day kindergarten can also ease financial burdens. The study suggests a decreased need for external paid childcare, offering a significant financial relief for families. Our full-day programs provide a streamlined, comprehensive solution, potentially saving you the costs and complexities of managing multiple care providers.
