[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, how does school work in the DC area -- is there after-school care at the public schools? At our current school district, all the public schools have YMCA after-school care available for only $233/month... I'm not sure how much the after-school care costs in DC? [/quote]
Stay in Madison, Wisconsin.
You will not find aftercare fore less than 450 per month per kid[/quote]

More people who don't know what they are talking about.  FCPS SACC (School Aged Child Care) program --- you had better get on the list NOW (you can get on the list 14 mos. prior to starting kindergarten) --- costs about $300/month.  Chances are you are not going to get a spot for this fall, so you'll have to go with a private day care that has aftercare or a sitter who will pick up. The center are more expensive (($120-150/wk).

Yes, but you might find different openings at different schools.  Check with the different schools you are looking at if it helps with your decision.

I don't know what after school care is like at our school (one of the West Springfield schools recommended in earlier threads), but when I walk by the room it doesn't look very full.  Many, many moms in our neighborhood are stay at home, and several kids get picked up by grandparents or nannies.  It seems like most of the kids go home with someone after school, so it might be easier to get into afterschool care in a school like this.  [/quote]
