[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Posts like this drive me crazy [b]because they are so self absorbed. [/b]The aftercare program is running a service. It needs to employ staff and maintain appropriate ratios. How could it manage pro-rating for early pick up times like child care at a gym? So the staff would only get paid for working an extra 45 min? Just think about it.[/quote]

Seriously.  OP is so typical self-absorbed DC. 
"what do you mean, can't the aftercare staff work around MY needs?  Surely the employees can manage to just live off of 45 minutes of salary because that's only childcare hours I need.  What, the workers have set bills and need a full 3 hours of income?.  NO way, I thought the world revolved around me!"[/quote]

OP, aftercare isn't really created to be tailored to your needs; its more of a catch-all (one size fits all) operation.  It sounds like you need a part-time nanny or attend a private school (where they offer these options).  Aftercare is program offered to working parents that can't pick up their kids at 3 or 3:15 because of their jobs.  You pay a flat fee because your child can stay from 3:30 to 6:30 even if you don't need them  to be there the entire time.  It's not customizable.  It doesn't exist to offer these different options--it exists to meet the general needs of the parent body.  [/quote]

I guess if you don't like something at your public school the only option is to go private?  :roll:  Seriously guys it ok to ask for "better" options![/quote]

Providing aftercare is an extra service. Schools are NOT required to offer it at all.

So, go private, or enter the lottery for another school that has aftercare that suits your needs. [/quote]
