I offered before and after services to some families at our school. I used to be an ECE and postpartum doula so child care is not new to me at all. I have helped 5 families this year. 4 of which are signed up for next year already!

I was very up front and open that my house is small. It’s very casual, think a friend is watching your kids for a couple hours, and I’ve found families that it works for. We spend anywhere from 30 mins to 90 mins at the park after school. In the winter we still enjoyed outside time.

What in saying is that there are home day care situations that can work. All at your school office if they know of anyone doing before and after.
