[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What did folks who can't afford $450/month aftercare do before their kids were school-aged? [/quote]

Don't know about others, but the 2 families I knew in this situation each had family who kept a lot of people's kids.  Only thing is, neither of those family members could travel to pick up or transport kids.  If the kids were dropped off and picked up from their house, everything was fine (and they were paid, just not much).  But once the kid is at school and needs to be picked up for aftercare/daycare, it all fell apart.

It's not unusual to have a childcare situation that worked when kids were babies/toddlers and could all be in one place.  A lot of the challenges come if that caregiver cannot pick up (usually because they care for more than just one family's kids) and also when there are kids at different schools, which everyone tries to avoid but there are plenty of people who only get one kid into the school they really want and have to hope sibling preference works for the next year so they're together.  I knwo a family where that was the main challenge for their old caregiver.[/quote]
