[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this won't help everyone but one suggestion I have if your kids are in elementary school is to ask about the after school programs. We live in Fairfax county and our elementary school has before and after school clubs that are very reasonably priced. My husband and I have semi flexible hybrid arrangements but mostly work in our offices. We have our kids pick a few clubs each year so that we have some additional flexibility with when they need to be picked up. When they stay after for a club we pick up at 515 pm. I worked in DC today and left my office around 430pm and had plenty of time to get there.

I know this doesn't solve all problems. But the schools are flexible enough to allow kids to join mid year if there are spots.

When they were younger we did the morning clubs too, so they were out of the house by 730.[/quote]

People really only need after care for elementary. What clubs does your elementary school have? Because ours has zero.

I’m in Loudoun and schools end before 3pm. After school care through the school is pitiful. Kids were being picked on, learning about sex acts, etc. Everyone who could afford it pulled their kids out. There was clearly no supervision. I’m still angry at our aftercare program. Some of these kids truly must have troubled families from the things they told our children about. [/quote]
