[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before/Afte school programs and staggered start times with DH.[/quote]

This.

I leave for work at about 6:40...and my DC is still in bed. Hubby doesn't start working until about 9ish...so he handles the walk to the bus stop. (The bus comes at 8am)

I get off of work at about 3:40...and I go to my son's after school care program and pick him up right away...or I'll come home and finish dinner (I make a lot of freezer meals) and then pick him up.

It works well for us. :-)[/quote]

I agree a mix of staggering schedules and before and after care seems to work best so that the kids don't have such a long day and the parents can still work full-time.  I also live close to work which helps.  My daughter goes to school 8:45-3:30.  DH works 7-3:30 and I work 9-5:30.  I do drop off and DH picks her up from aftercare.  If one of us is out of town or has meetings, we use a drop-in before care program and/or leave her at aftercare a little longer (it is open until 6:30).  I also am able to telework frequently, so that I can pick her up and continue working at home when DH is unavailable to do pick-up.[/quote]
