[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because you get what you pay for. Mann is more than $500/month. Janney parents run the aftercare parents and thus keep overhead costs low. Also, Janney is able to tap into the AU student community and so can be more flexible in scaling up and down on a moment's notice. [/quote]

+1.

Janney is such an unusual situation. Besides being close to AU, I've noticed Janney is full of two-earner families where one parent works in academia or a think tank or something like that. That parent wants part-time aftercare (since those jobs are often flexible) and is also usually super-high-education and super invested in the quality of the aftercare program.[/quote]

[b]I’m assuming the OP is referring to Shepherd. [/b]There are similar household structures in Shepherd Park. OP, I would wager as the inbound % continues to increase and the demand for flexibility increases, there would be changes. I would talk about it to the new principal.[/quote]

I'm the PP that asked what school, since this was also my assumption.  I'm not sure there will be as much demand at Shepherd?  I mean, as the IB % grows, sure the number of similar professional families will grow (I type this on my telework day).  But, it's a much smaller school than Janney.[/quote]
