[quote=Anonymous]I think the aftercare question is really reasonable.  I have no experience at either school, but switched from a school where most kids had 2 working parents and were at aftercare, to a school with a lot of SAHMs and very few kids at aftercare.  The aftercare program at the first was more robust and my sense was that it offered more for the older kids in terms of "enrichment," providing a win-win for working parents who would rather do some of those activities (violin lessons, for example) during aftercare than on the weekends.  At our current school I know working parents work out carpools to take kids to enrichment activities outside the school but it is much more hassle, and requires carseats and a fairly flexible work schedule.  Anyhow, everything else being equal, I would take the school with better aftercare.  But first find out if, culturally, most of the kids at CMI do take advantage of these activities or, as your kids get older, you'll be pressured into finding ways to cart them to the "off-campus" after-school activities anyhow.[/quote]
