I know your post says that.  My question was if people can use it 2-3 days a week or if it is expected/assumed that kids come every day.  I just wonder if it is a pain to just use it part time as far as getting them to understand which days your child will come, signing them out, etc.  My son is in 1st now and we have a nanny so it is not an issue, but at some point we may get rid of the nanny and use extended day in the afternoons 2-3 days a week.

The default assumption is that your kid will come every day, but setting up a different schedule, or varying from the alternative schedule, is no big deal. We send a letter at the beginning of the year telling the extended day staff which days our kids will be coming. There's a form at sign-in if you need to change what you're doing that day (bus/pick-up/home with someone else/extended day even though it's not a day they usually go).

I really love the extended day staff, and I'm irritated that you're talking about "getting them to understand" whether your kid is going to be there. It sounds really, really patronizing. [/quote]
