[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]

Running aftercare programs is complicated and this would be a complicated option. I understand why you want it but it's just unlikely. I have seen aftercare that ends at 6pm with a special option for 6:30pm that parents pay extra to access. But, in this case, it would be easier to track who is supposed to be left at 6:15pm and who is not. In your scenario, it would be really hard to keep track of which parents paid for 2 hours but regularly used 3.

Our first charter had drop in aftercare which was AMAZING. Our current one doesn't. But, we understand our current one is run in house and they just can't handle the variability as much as the hired program. So, we deal.

If you've found an aftercare nanny for two kids for less than $1000, great! Keep doing that. Ours is super reliable but we may much more.[/quote]
