[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only 9-5?
Every daycare we looked at was open 7-6 or at least 7.30-5.30.[/quote]

If I have to work 8 hours a day, even if my schedule is 9-5, how do I work my 8 hours and still do pickup and drop-off at the same time?[/quote]

Staggered schedules. I actually agree with the OP and we noticed that if my son spent more than 8 hours per day at daycare he was more difficult, had larger emotional outbursts, was more hyper, needed more downtime and connection, etc. Part of this was that they required him to lay down for 2 hours but it was a problem even when he was napping so 8-430 was too long for him. We ended up reducing his hours to preK only 9-230 and my DH works 530-215 and I work 915-545. I have him in the morning, he has him in the afternoon. We are together from 6-8 bedtime. 
It is a huge privilege to work from home and have flex hours but will prepare us for schooling hours as we will keep the same schedules. We may do aftercare but unlikely since the cost wouldnt be worth the hour or so we might use it. We dont make a lot of money but theres no way we would increase our incomes enough to offset the hours missed, need for before and aftercare, etc. [/quote]
