[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my lower Westchester town, before school care starts at 7:30 and after school lasts until 6. Plenty of homes are walking distance to the train station (mine included) and the express is 30 minutes to Grand Central. My office is another 15 minutes on the subway. Counting walking, etc., the commute is just under an hour. We have tons of space and the schools are free and excellent.

My sister lives in Brooklyn D15, and her kids also go to an excellent free school. She has less space than we do but is still comfortable, and her commute is shorter by about 20 minutes.

There are a lot of different ways to do this, but you need to familiarize yourself with the many good public schools in NYC and the surrounding area![/quote]

I’m the pp who lives in westchester. 7:30-6pm is a REALLY long day for kids to be in before care, school and aftercare. And don’t they age out of before/after care once they hit middle school - then what? Kids need an adult around, don’t they? Asking, not judging - my kids are younger than yours and I’m trying to sort out my own RTO demands. Working in thr city feels really undoable if you want quantity of time with your kids [/quote]

You need a nanny or stay at home parent.  My spouse does a 60-90 minute drive commute each way from VA to MD and its sole sucking.  One accident can set you back hours and its the only in/out.  They cannot switch jobs and moving is financially not worth it but if I was moving I'd go closer to work.[/quote]

We have a sitter and a wfh parent and some days we struggle. [/quote]

If you have a sitter and a wfh parent, then you have a problem.  This makes no sense when there are two available adults and your sitter handles most things.[/quote]
