Beyond possibly some scheme to help the poor (check Parks and Rec), this market is squarely in the hands of nannies, sitters, au-pairs, and grandparents. What you will find is many schools providing some contracted or parent-led solution. Indeed, check with the school for details and be prepared to pull. Title I schools offer a DCPS afterschool service, which is at this point mostly decent to quite excellent. But they're mostly too poorly staffed to provide a good environment for kids age 3 and 4. I also wouldn't recommend something offsite for that age group. Too difficult to supervise the "work-flow" during such a transition. It's also very disruptive to an age category that really wants nothing more than lay low and play after 6 hours of "school", which - especially at first - little sleep and rest. My kids are resilient but I'd have never done that to them. They went with the in-house provider and that was a good solution.

Peabody offers off-site aftercare for this age group.
