[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will childcare providers be able to pivot to offer school age care?  Will they be able to hire staff who are willing to work only during the school breaks?  What about the children who rely on the schools for meals?  How will they be fed during breaks?[/quote]

Yes. Childcare will easily pivot[/quote]

Do you really think so?  If you need enough employees for 40 kids for 6 weeks at a time and then you need enough employees for 80 kids for 2 weeks,  are the employees going to be willing to work for short stints with weeks long gaps in between?  Most childcare centers employ just enough staff to meet minimum ratio standards.  Are they going to pay the workers who come in for the school age kids for weeks they aren't needed?  No. Are those employees going to be able to find other jobs that allow them to work 6 weeks on, 2 weeks off?

How do you envision this working?  I'm genuinely curious.  I know it must work in the places where year round school exists.  I just don't understand how.
