Great. So answer the question: What do working parents do for childcare?

[/quote]

It's been answered repeatedly--they choose programs that don't close as often, usually called "daycares" rather than "preschools."  The curriculum is often quite similar, but a daycare program will close less often because it's also explicitly serving as child care for working parents.  [/quote]

And it usually costs a lot more. [/quote]
  
That was not our experience. Costs were comparable, hours were longer and there were very few days off each year. [/quote]

This. Plus when you consider that your kid *could* be there 12 hours a day, ours provides 2 snacks and lunch, has a state accredited pre-k program and only costs $200 a week (I'm outside the DMV bubble), it's pocket change. I have SAHM friends who pay the same $10k a year for preschool that goes 9-12 3 days a week September through May only.[/quote]
