[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello fellow parents. I am looking for inputs from parents where both has/have demanding careers.

Our child is going to go to school PK3 this fall in DC, public for now and we will revisit at PK4+.

I am shocked at the days the school is closed plus all the holidays. We were thinking about using school aftercare untill we can pick our child up.

How did you plan for this? I am so shocked and looking for inputs from other parents so I can plan proactively.

Thank you [/quote]

Yeah umm I dont know what to say besides if you dont have lots of money or family/grandparents then you dont take a vacation for a few years because all of your leave will go to sick days and days off. 
Yes, aftercare can be utilized. It will cover some days but there's a wide range in programming (thats my nicest way of putting it).

What have you been doing prior to this? Daycare or nanny?[/quote]

We have a nanny. This is eye opening as a FTP.

Debating if we should keep a nanny for after care so we can use her wreb school closes

I mean if you have that type of income then sure! You could ask if he/she would be willing to move into a hybrid house manager/nanny role. Or this is when a few families we know utilized an Au Pair. The Au Pair was in charge of morning and afternoons with the day for their own schooling or short trips. They typically did not cover if class was in session but that can be agreed on ahead of time. They did cover all known off days including summer.

Because on top of days off during the year you also have 6-9 weeks of summer to cover. Daycare summer camps for that age do exist but spots are limited. We did not choose to move outside of daycare summer camp until after 5 but did do shorter breaks like spring and winter with an outside forest program.
