Morning and Afternoon Sessions in the Nursery, Do They Have Equal Status? With Particular Reference to Storytime.

Bilton, Helen

International Journal of Early Years Education, v2 n2 p54-64 Fall 1994

Compared the quality of experience for children attending part-time nursery at different times of the day, focusing particularly on storytime. Findings suggest the two sessions are not of equal value to the children, that children may not be performing as well in the afternoon, and that traditional group storytime may not be as effective for the afternoon children.
