[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are your elementary school's hours in Fairfax County?  The one my daughter will be starting at is 9:00am - 4:00pm which means that we'll have to pay for both before care and after care because if I drop my kid off at 9:00am, I won't get to work until 10:00.  Why on earth do they start little kids so late??  I see other elementaries that I drive by that start at 8:00, that would make so much more sense (and cost me so much less money).[/quote]

Can either you or your spouse go to work early and be out by the time school ends?  Many parents at the later ES, stagger their work hours that way. [/quote]

This is what we do. DS's school doesn't open til 9, and the bell schedule is 9:20-4:05. I take him to before care around 8 and then go work my normal day. DH leaves for work at 6 am and is home to meet the bus at 4:18. (disclaimer: we do send DS to a tae kwon do aftercare program two days a week to give DH more flexibility and because we think it's good for DS. It's a bit of a luxury and if $$ was tight, it would probably be something we dropped quickly. On those days, the TKD van picks him up and we get him at 6. I didn't want to do that every day because it would be a LONG day for DS but he gets mad when we pick him up before 6 now, LOL.)[/quote]
