[quote=Anonymous]We do aftercare.  My oldest will be in 3rd grade next year.  It's the first year I would have considered her coming home.  Except my youngest will be in K, so having him have something "to do" after school is really valuable.  They make friends are play!  It's great.

We are in APS, and there are Early Release days at least once a month, sometimes twice.  I barely have to think about those because my kid just goes to aftercare.  So I'd say look at the schedule and see what days your kid will be coming home at 1:30, not 3:30.

If you DH is pushing for this, I'd also put him in charge of managing her from when she gets home until it's knockoff time.  So he can be the "on call" parent to help with getting her off the bus, a snack, getting settled.  He may all of a sudden realize what a good deal is it have someone else do that.

Also, if you sign up for after care and it's not what you need after a month or 2 of school, you can drop out.  I thin it's easier to go that way than the other way (sign up 2 months in).[/quote]
