[quote=Anonymous]We hosted an Educare last year, and I strongly encourage you to consider the regular AP program.  We found that the cost was the same once you were done factoring in extra classes and the transportation to and from those classes, plus since most of our AP's friends were regular APs but worked the same schedule she did, we found that she at times chafed - never towards us, but definitely towards the program - about the fact that she made $40 less per week because she was an educare rather than a regular AP.  During summer vacation, we ran into a couple of weeks where we needed extra help (no school but camps not yet in session) where we had to hire additional care. PLus, when our daughter was sick for a week, we also ran into trouble with the 30 hour max.

Although we too use only about 25 hrs/week regularly, we switched back to the regular AP program this year and will stay within it.  I know this isn't what you asked, but I'm a longtime HM and thought you might benefit from our mistake.  Good luck (I think APIA is the only program that does educare so not sure if you will find a spanish speaking educare anyway).[/quote]
