<p>All of the schools here have before and after school daycare programs, in house, which are run by the Y. It’s a bonus, not only for working parents, but also for the teachers in the school. My granddaughter will eventually attend the school where my D teaches and will be in the program there. Are any of you in districts that offer this type of childcare?</p>
<p>Some of the public schools here have such programs, run by various companies or agencies like the Y, so prices vary. My youngest D was in two of them before I started working PT. You did need to continue over the summer if you wanted to retain your place and they were not cheap. But yes, it was very convenient for D to just be in one place all day, though I am not a teacher.</p>
<p>Our districts (both the one where I worked, and the one where I lived) had this before and after school child care, and it was also through the Y. Neither district has continued this. I will say…the price per day for before and after school child care was almost as much as full time day care. </p>
<p>There is a convenience factor for those that still have these programs, but I can’t think of one district in my area that still offers this.</p>
<p>That’s too bad, thumper. The program here is ~$400/month for before and after care, which I think is very reasonable. Full-time daycare here at a good, licensed center is going to cost in the vicinity of $1200-1300 a month, depending on the age of the child.</p>
<p>Wow! I was paying $300 a week ($20 each day for an hour before school and $40 for two hours after school) and that ended for me in 1994!</p>
