[quote=Anonymous]Any advice/feedback/pointers welcome. My kid is entering second grade at a McLean public elementary school. We're approximately number eighty billion on the SACC list. For first grade, he did aftercare at a martial-arts dojo. I don't much like the place, but there seem to ONLY be martial-arts dojos that do actual pick-up-from-school aftercare in this area (we both work full-time in downtown DC, so we can't transport him from school to aftercare in the afternoon). We really can't afford a nanny for afterschool care: running the numbers, we'd go from about 500/month for the dojo to ca. 1200/month for nanny afterschool care. I'm boggled by the lack of afterschool programs in this county. Isn't there anything but martial-arts programs? (Re. the dojo: it's okay, he likes the karate, but it is WAY over the top on its line-up-and-shut-up approach to dealing with kids and its teachers are pretty careless compared to other karate instructors he's had. It's also small/cramped/barren and the kids never get outdoors.) Any recommendations? What do most of you working-full-time couples do for Fairfax aftercare?[/quote]
