[quote=Anonymous]So your original question was, why would a group of parents choose to pay for aftercare if they could get it for free? The answer is that sometimes, you get what you pay for. DCPS aftercare does not have a great reputation. Kids watching TV. Little to no "enrichment" activities. Limited supervision. Crappy snacks. Programs that you pay for tend to try harder to impress with their programmatic offerings. As for the low income families issue, yes, I agree that $500/mo is probably more than many want to pay. I have also observed that there are discounts for low income families.[/quote]
