We’re thinking about continuing our 5-year-old in pre-K. It’s a full day program and he could just go on his off days.

Hahahahaha. Do you think you will have that option for the off days- or any days?

I doubt it will be offered next year.


This. There is no way that can do aftercare unless they jack up the prices to manage the staffing that would be needed.

I only work part-time, but I highly doubt my preschooler's schedule will match my elementary kids enough to get my 20 hours a week in. We're going to have to go back to having a part-time nanny.

It depends for us - will the days be shorter too and holidays longer?
I am thinking Au pair but I hear they are hard to get now.

What about the days there is no school?

I’m a part-time school employee and my husband does not have a flexible schedule and must be in the office. Ideally I will find another family who can watch my son while I’m working. I would take their child when I’m not. I know two families who I think would be a good fit for this. Another option would be to share a babysitter with someone on the opposite track.

We're lucky. DH can likely WFH most of the time. I think my work will be flexible and understanding.

I don't want to use grandparents once schools open because the rest of us will have too much exposure.

I"m hoping to find a part-time babysitter.

I am not sure I could do the whole year after these last few months.


It would be less than that, as in most plans Friday’s are teacher planning days - so only 2 days/week. I’m lucky that I have a flexible job and could work from home. My kid is also independent and can do a lot on her own (rising third grader). So I could make it work if need be, as long as daycare is open for the younger one. Which, of course, it may not be, in which case I am screwed and have no idea what I would do.
