[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a bit of an outlier here in that our only kid still at home is a middle schooler so I fully remember the pre-Covid times of paying for aftercare at the parochial school our kid attends. We'll make RTO work but it comes with logistical challenges and financial tradeoffs.

For neighborhood families with younger kids in public school, there are very limited after-school options even at the beginning of the school year. Incoming kindergarten parents are often scrambling and being wait listed at places.[/quote]

I live in Howard County and HCPS elementary schools offer before and aftercare for working parents. I assumed other elementary schools did as well…[/quote]

I would be surprised if the school system offers it they usually contract out to private companies and they are limited to the amount of students that you can enroll in either before care or after care. 
PG county does not guarantee before before care aftercare on-site in schools. We do happen to have before care and aftercare in our local elementary school but they are limited to 50 kids. In a school of 400 plus. 
.it's also 30 per day to use both so 150/week and 600/mo for one kid. School hours are 8 30 to 2:40. Before care is 730-830 and 240-530.  Still not enough to cover parents commuting and both having to be in 8-5.
This is reality. And this policy is not kid friendly, family friendly, climate friendly not efficient friendly. Work will not get done on flexed hours. Workers were willing to do it because they were being accommodated. Rigidity breeds rigidity. 
Private busses options are more expensive. [/quote]
