[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible to make this program work if you aren't a stay at home mom?[/quote]

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, it is possible. We are currently discussing several options to try and make our program even more accessible to parents who work full time and who have less flexible schedules. For now, though, I would say that your best option would be to contact admissions and talk with them more just to find out if it feels like it could be a great fit for your child. If it sounds like a go, ask them to help put you in contact with a family or two that live near you. Perhaps carpooling might be an option that could help, i.e. if getting there for pickup at 3 pm is not possible. In terms of family jobs, there are some that can mainly be done at home/ on a computer / in your own time that could work better for you. And finally, in terms of co-oping days as it currently stands, each family must co-op 2-3 afternoons per month (noon-3:30 pm), but you can also work one field trip Friday/month (all day) to get in your hours for that month. So I'd say as long as you can take off 1 day/month or 2 afternoons/month, I feel good that the rest could be worked out and the community could chip in to help out where you need it. It's definitely worth at least asking about, and seeing what could get worked out![/quote]
