Every pre-school runs differently - you would have to ask your pre-school manager. The children in the second year of our pre-school are called "rising fours" and start to do a little more structured stuff - learning letters, numbers etc, but as for what sessions your DD will do, well that depends on the pre-school.

It also depends on what YOU want - pre-school isn't compulsory or essential, you know!

Some pre-schools only run in mornings. dd's has longer hours than some, since is attached to a school so mirrors school opening.

First Jan - Sept - she did 2 afternoons (v. oversubscribed and was all available)

Sept - Jan - she did 2 mornings and one afternoon

2nd year Jan - September - she did 1 full day and 2 mornings with lunch

2nd year September - Jan - she is there for 2 full days and 1 morning for lunch.

I know some children who are doing 5 mornings, because their pre-school only operates in mornings, and they will start school not having done a full school day (i.e. 8.50am to 3.15pmish)
