> I agree with Dinah. All of the schools around here offer "for fee" kinderPLUS programs. What that means, for a minimal fee, your child stays at school for the entire school day and for the opposite half day (either morning or afternoon) they are in school but in a day care type setting.
> Our school kinderplus program actually works closely with the real kindergarten program expanding the curriculm that is already in place. Plus, you could pick how many days you needed. It was loved by both working and non-working parents.
That would be great. I would go for that in a heartbeat. I can't even believe our school doesn't have an afterschool program at all. It's just a guess, but I think they're building so many schools so quickly around here, they don't have the faculty or staff in place to add any "extra" programs.
One of my friends in the neighborhood just told me she thinks the park district and YMCA have programs for aftershool care. I'll have to look into that. I just may run into the same transportation issue, though.
