In a way I still took matters into my own hands. Less than a week before school was to start and still no definite word from the district on if there was going to be a 1/2 day program. So, I called and enrolled her in the school with the option to take her out at the 1/2 day point ourselves. I think this will be a good compromise. I am looking forward to speaking with her teacher and working out all of the details. She should be able to stay longer on the days the have "specials" including gym class, art, music and computers. Any curriculum she might miss the teacher will give to me so I can teach her at home.
I am excited to watch my little girl blossom and grow this year just like she did last year.

I had the SAME concerns with Julian going ALL DAY. It seems so long for a 5 year old but he adjusted well and LOVES it! Maybe if you see her doing well you can just let her stay. I totally understand where you are coming from and I am glad the school and teacher are working with you.
Good for you on taking charge of her education and figuring out what works best for you guys and being willing to make changes if need be. . .I know she'll do great no matter what!
