One major pitfall: extreme jealousy from the other two-thirds of us whose kids aren't in all-day kindergarten! Seriously, many parents don't like all-day K...they want the half-day transition, and are around to spend daytime with their kids. However, it was our first choice...we ended up with our third, PM kindergarten, otherwise known as Fertilizing Young Minds When They Could Probably Use Quiet Time. That said, we have a wonderful teacher, Ms. May, at Burroughs, so we've still come out ahead.
