[quote=Anonymous]Yes, we quit when our children were 5 and 7 and came back when they were 7 and 9.  We needed morning help and could not find reliable morning care.  We only needed 25 minutes of driving our son to school, and I was paying $25 per day for that morning work, but still the people cancelled a lot because it was only $25 to them.  And in terms of afternoons, we were fine and had reliable after school care, but it was the year of Snowmaggedon and we had two weeks off from school and that killed all of our vacation days.  And then DD got sick for sevreal days and that put us over the edge.  So we went back to the program.  Our children are now 12 and 14, and we are done this July. I can't wait.  It's been a great run and we have really enjoyed the program, but this last stint is brutal and we have had a tough year, so it is a slow crawl to the finish line.

If we had had any family nearby who could have helped, that would have made things better but we didn't.  Also schools didn't have aftercare or back-up vacation care.[/quote]
