| Alternate taking a day off and trading care with a mom friend. |

| When we had similar situation either DH or I took those days off. We planned months ahead, as soon as the school calendar was published. |

| We booked travel abroad for the last day of school. We planned as soon as the calendar was out. That said, otherwise spouse and I would've each taken a day off. If we couldn't, we maybe would have just paid for a whole week and made sure to plan in advance next year. |

| Husband goes into work as early as he can drag himself out of bed, I go in as late as possible, and we get a sitter to cover the hours in between. That usually ends up being 4-5 hours so not cheap, but OK for a couple days. |

| We are using a staff member from our aftercare program to watch a group of neighborhood kids. |

| HoopEd prorates for partial weeks. CREATE Arts Center in Silver Spring (just north of the DC border) has camp that week with single-day registrations available. Good luck! |

| Drop in at the daycare my kid used to attend. Since she turns 7 this year, it's the last time I can use this option though. |

CREATE Arts Center in downtown Silver Spring (we are a 5 minute drive from DC). We offer individual day registrations during that week only, and a few spaces are still available for 6/15 and 6/16.

| Mine will be intern for the day at the office will me. There is no shortage of young helpers at the end of the school year. Management is completely supportive. |
