[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a little backstory from the parent of a kid who is now in high school. MRE hasn't had aftercare since my child started school. I think they may have had it a few years prior to our start there, but it's been well over a decade. It's a small school, and I think I remember that aftercare may have fallen prey to need-based reductions in programming. Joe's was what we did the very first year they offered aftercare, and back then it was so new it always had spots open. Most folks we spoke with at the time found informal care in the neighborhood. It really is an unfulfilled need in our community. Some parents of my child's classmate had their kids at Agape on Rt. 1. in Brentwood, but note that it is VERY religious and used the ABEKA curiculum, which is chock-full of stuff like creationism. That said, when you're desperate...[/quote]

OP here, thanks, it certainly is a big need for the area.  Joe's has a long wait list now-a-days.  I checked out Agape on Rt. 1, and made note that it would be an absolute last resort.  Their brochure says they teach a "child evangelism" class, and says the students "attend Chapel, where they get to sing, clap, and jump for Jesus".  They seemed really nice though, and their rates are crazy cheap.  Infant care is $195/week, preschool is $150/week, before care is $45/week, aftercare is $80/week, and before/aftercare together is $100/week (info for you other parents in the area)

Honestly, I found YMCA Calomiris much nicer than I thought it would be and I'm glad we got a spot there. :)[/quote]
