I agree with the post above.  Part-time K has the same goals as full time, which means they have to get rid of centers and specials and art projects-- basically all the fun stuff.  Plus, K is the time when kids socialize the most and make some life-long friends.  My twins are in 3rd grade now and have a big circle of friends that all started in full-time K.  My boys were barely 5 when they started and had only had part-time pre-k, but they adjusted perfectly. I think you need to have faith in your little guy.  I say this with a smile, but to me, this sounds like a mommy-readiness issue rather than a kid issue. :)

Our school went from full day to half day and you know what they lost -- extra time outside, a longer snack time, an after-lunch rest period, extra PE time, and library time is shorter. He still has music twice a week, but art class for only half of the year.

OP, have you observed the classroom? They should welcome you to do so. It might not be as bad as you think :)
