[quote=Anonymous]I don't know of any charter that offered 6 weeks of camp plus school until 4, 4:15 before they stick your kid in aftercare. Ours offered 2 weeks of camp in prior years but we had to pay for aftercare because we couldn't get to school by 3:30 (which would mean leeavinf work at 2:45), which is not a full days work because I cannot start at 6:30 am. Anyway what are you going to do this year since funding has been cut? My work does not offer free back up care, nor does my husbands. I took the full 6 weeks of leave offered in DC (not 22 at the time)! It still doesn't explain how you did childcare until the youngest was almost 3! Our costs involve childcare, food, stuff, and space. We don't spend a ton but it does still cost money. More than $6k a year for childcare for school age kid. Aftercare is $450 a month plus some winter beak camp, summer camp etc which on a daily basis is more than I used to pay for daycare. [/quote]
