[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much is before care? We only need 30 minutes of aftercare 3x a week and it's $400 a month for the county aftercare. Just another reason parents are broke. [/quote]But it’s extremely reliable.  If it’s in your kid’s school you don’t have to worry about someone else transporting them. It’s all there in the same building.  Use as much or as little as needed from week to week.  It’s your spot.  The make seemingly lifetime friends with the other playmates there.  They work late and early and used to include snow days and teacher workdays. We never needed to search on care.com.  The before care and after care was a given.  Yes, it’s money out, but it was perfect coverage in the long run. Just pay it for elementary and keep the kids safe.  Middle school starts a different era. [/quote]

2 kids. $400 before care and $400 aftercare= $3200 a month. That's insane. I'm glad others can just pay for it.[/quote]

($400+$400)*2 = $1600

Also, is it really $400 for both before and aftercare? At our school in Arlington it's $253 for mornings and $374 for afternoons if you are full price. That's $627 x 2 kids = $1254. It's still a lot of money, but a lot less than $3200 and definitely less than you were paying for daycare before the kid entered kindergarten. [/quote]

My kid is full pay at SACC in Fairfax County and it’s $700/month for morning and afternoon during the school year. Oh, and I’m a single mom with sole custody. So yawn at the whining here.[/quote]
