[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ouch...

I'm a single mother, that recently moved here from abroad, as I accepted a job offer in DC.

I'm also foreigner and not very familiar with the US habits.

My DS will be attending a school, which provides extended care until 6 pm. I was Now debating if would be a good idea to sign him up. The thing is...I don't have a lot of choices...either he will attend extended care, either I will hire a part time nanny.

I come from a country where the extended day care is until 8 pm, due to the way the counttry and work is organized. I know...terrible, and I'm sure no kid get enough sleep, but...it's our reality.

My doubt was...would he be ok, is it normal to be in extended day care or will he be by himself? This is a traditional Roman Catholic school...

Shall I get the nanny? But being without siblings, I believe this may be even worst...

Please advice....

another foreigner here. if the program is good, then sign him up. he will make friends and spend time playing with them. if the program is just a parking place, then find something else. my kids' school has two great programs, and tons of kids go there every day. once my visiting father showed up at the after care at 4 to "save" his poor grandchild and my daughter kicked him out, telling him to come back not earlier than 5 because she had no intention to stop playing to go home.
