[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I should clarify that even though our nanny works PT this consists of 3 long days each week, to match my work schedule--I am off the other days.  There is no way that sports, camps, or any other activities would serve as child care for our oldest when he's 5--DH and I are gone from 6:30 AM until, best case scenario, 5:15 or so.  It would be difficult even to find a day care that would take our younger one for the hours we need and to pick everyone up on time (factoring in travel time to 2 different locations).  In our current arrangement the nanny drives our oldest to and from preschool so camps and/or morning preschool are an option going forward.  I suspect that on paper it would cost less to do extended day for our older one, plus daycare for the younger, plus some hodgepodge that would cover school closures, sick days, and summer break--but as others have touched on I have misgivings about how that would affect all of us.  I don't think we can have a nanny forever but since our younger one is not yet 2 I still feel like it's worth it going forward, and am not sure my older one is ready to be at school for 11 hours a day, 3 days a week next year.  Thanks for your thoughts.
