[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the comments that you need childcare if you're going to be in school full-time.  Is the part-time program all day on MWF?  If so, you might be able to make it work if you do coursework in the evenings and on weekends (you'll need a babysitter or spouse to watch the kids then).  If it's a half-day on MWF, you need WAY more.

I work PT and have kids the same age as yours.  My youngest is in half-day preschool every weekday.  I do during that time (frantically trying to fit everything in and always feeling like it's hard to focus because I know I have to stop and go pick him up), and then in the evenings and some on weekends.  I always feel like it's a struggle to get things done and am always behind.  Plus, I feel guilty not hanging out on the weekends (especially because that's the main time when I get to see my older kid).

Yes, I get to do drop-off and pick-up without aftercare, and I do spend wonderful afternoons with my youngest before picking the older up from school.  It totally works, but I could never do it without my kid being in preschool daily, and it requires a lot of evening/weekend work.

Also remember that if you plan to work in the evenings, it means you likely won't be able to do the bedtime routine some or much of the time.[/quote]
