[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe when the rec center is open at Shepherd next year, DPR will start an aftercare program.[/quote]

Are they providing it at any school? I couldn’t find anything online.[/quote]

Yes. Hearst, Watkins off the top of my head. Maybe others. [/quote]

DPR run a program at Hearst park but it is not connected to the school.  It has always been a well-guarded secret how to actually enroll in it.  Most families end up using the school's aftercare program, which is run by an outside company (Innis).  It is flexible-- you can sign up for 3, 4, or 5 days or drop-in.  You can switch it any time.  It is great to have options since there are also enrichment classes offered so I don't always need aftercare.[/quote]

+1, OP here, I don't want my kids in aftercare all the time. DC is currently taking enrichment classes 2 days/week outside from school and I would like it to continue (and add sibling). It sucks because the activities they provide are not that interesting imo and now I am looking for other options (aftercare nanny) for my kids. I am ok with paying more for part time, I don't feel like paying full time for 2 kids when I will only be using max 3 days/week. I don't expect things to change right away, my question was to figure out to get there and I got some good suggestions. 
Btw I stand by my title because the program as offered right now sucks for me.[/quote]

OP, you should expand your vocabulary.[/quote]
