Half-day often fits better when a child tires quickly, when another caregiver can cover the second half, or when you are testing a new environment before committing to a longer day. The key is whether the logistics after pickup are truly workable, not whether full-day sounds more complete.

Ask about pickup flow, who supervises transitions, what happens if a child is tired or dysregulated, how rigid the attendance window is, and how communication works when plans change. Those are usually more predictive than glossy activity descriptions.
