[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a bit of an outlier here in that our only kid still at home is a middle schooler so I fully remember the pre-Covid times of paying for aftercare at the parochial school our kid attends. We'll make RTO work but it comes with logistical challenges and financial tradeoffs.

For neighborhood families with younger kids in public school, there are very limited after-school options even at the beginning of the school year. Incoming kindergarten parents are often scrambling and being wait listed at places.[/quote]

I live in Howard County and HCPS elementary schools offer before and aftercare for working parents. I assumed other elementary schools did as well…[/quote]

I live in HoCo too. I’ve been on the waitlist for aftercare at my kids’ elementary school for years. It’s filled up with returning parents before it opens to the public and new parents are waitlisted. The closest I’ve made it was #10 and the highest was around #150. I was on before Covid and after Covid (my oldest is now in middle school). The programs don’t have enough spaces- I’ve heard it’s around 30-35 kids per grade and there’s about 200 kids per grade at the school.

There’s a lack of after care and before care options all over. It’s gotten a lot worse after Covid.[/quote]
