[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much are you guys paying? Around $300 for full time after school only?

Mundo Verde and Yu Ying run their own aftercare programs, and they are well liked. But I believe they are the most expensive in the District.[/quote]

I wish. With the flex plan, I would pay $488/month JUST for aftercare. Obviously if I needed full time I wouldn't do flex, and that comes in around $430 a month JUST for aftercare. I imagine with before care it must be around $500. This ends up being totally unaffordable for FARMS families, but actually is also unaffordable for middle and upper middle class families (like my own, which is also paying for day care) or for families with 2 or 3 kids enrolled.

[b]Because our school will eventually qualify for subsidies from OSSE for FARMS families[/b], I think something in the $300 range is more reasonable and appropriate because eventually everyone would be able to afford it..

Do you have a high-FARMs rate?  I was about to say, wouldn't they qualify for subsidies and doesn't Springboard provide some scholarships or other program to offset costs?  I can see how it would impact middle income families that do not qualify though.  That is really high if you have multiple kids.  [/quote]
