[quote=Anonymous]I’m finding that before/after care is much less expensive than daycare ($570/month versus $1900/month) but we’re not saving as much as I’d hoped. Summer camp puts a dent in the savings: we splurged on 2 weeks of $500/week camp but went with roughly $300/week options for remainder of summer. Also spent a little more on sports/other extras. This was our first year without daycare and I started catching up on house expenses (furniture, decorations, etc) that had to be postponed while paying daycare. It feels like juggling, this year I’ll need to spend less on the house and save more for next year’s summer camp and family vacation. It is nice not having the big daycare expense each month. Also, we live in Montgomery County, and our aftercare program covers snow days and most school holidays. If the MCPS admin offices open, then the aftercare program opens. I haven’t had to take as much time off as I did for our daycare. Good luck![/quote]
