[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen a lot of useful threads on specific aftercare programs in MCPS, but had some general logistics questions and hope a seasoned veteran can help me out as we look ahead to fall.

1.  When do you register for aftercare programs for the upcoming school year?

2.  If you are planning to do the language immersion lottery, do you register for both your in-bound school and for the immersion school, just in case?

3.  This may be program-specific, but for parents who use aftercare just a few afternoons a week, do you still have access to the aftercare programs on in-service days, school breaks, etc. when you might need care on a day you wouldn't normally use it?  I.e., you're only registered for M-W, but need coverage on the odd Friday b/c of in-service days, or for the week of spring break - can you count on your program for the extra day(s)?

Thanks.[/quote]

1. Depends on each program. You'd have to check with your school for their provider and then contact the provider.

2. If you register at both, you'll be canceling at one, so be prepared to pay for a cancellation. You will learn about your lottery results in March/April, I think, and can then decide if you want to pursue the wait list. (Not that we applied, I'm going on what other people have said who did apply for the programs.)

3. Definitely a program specific question. You can probably be drop-in for random days, but it will depend on your provider. We have a MWF arrangement and I typically don't do drop-in for any Tuesday/Thursday closings since I think the cost is a bit steep. Instead I make doctor's/dentist appointments for the kids... :-) [/quote]
