[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haha OP here, everyone calms down.
So at my school most aftercare staffs are teachers who are there for the day and are trying to make some extra bucks, so I am sure some would want to stay an extra 1-2hours instead of 3 hours. I wasn't asking for paying for 45minutes, but maybe instead of paying $400/3 hours they should have $250/1.5 hours and $400/3 hours?  Most summer camps after care programs provide that options why cant schools do the same?[/quote]

I have never seen a summer camp that offers multiple aftercare options like that.

They also have fixed costs that are unrelated to how long your kid stays, such as snacks, supplies, any craft materials used, administrative costs, insurance, rent, etc.

It's also possible that there's not enough demand for it, or they have no trouble filling their aftercare program as-is and see no need to change it to make less money than they do now.  [/quote]

This is just one example of camps with those options:

The highlights of the flyer above:
[b]Fees (same rate for members and nonmembers)
$45 per week for Before Care from 8-8:45 am, Tuesday-Friday (Grades 1 and up only)
$120 per week for Full Extended Camp from 3-6 pm (Grades 1-4)
$65 per week for Half Extended Camp from 3-4 pm (Grades Full Day Pre-K/K-4)
$75 per week for Half Extended Camp from 4-6 pm (Grades 5 and up only)[/b]

So yeah maybe what I am asking is not that crazy or impossible![/quote]
