Even with full day Kindergarten, you still pay an additional cost per month to help cover the added costs of the cirriculum, or at least that was the case for us ($320), and you still had before and after school care for that which was $420 if you were at the school(and could get in), or $500 off site. It actually worked out to less money for half day kindergarten, and before and after school care which was $600 per month, and than $390 to buy a bus pass.

From a day care perspective though I get it....you need to staff for peak times in the morning where people drop the kids off. Than they all leave, and you can't just send your staff home. So it's probably more difficult to staff for a 2 hour morning rush, and than 3 hours after school, than full day.
