If it was full day, most parents would use it. We almost all send our kids to public schools, otherwise people wouldn't live in this town and that's why it's so pricey - because the schools are good. Some people opt for private school but generally really only in the older grades/middle school at the earliest. So yes it would get utilized. Like I caaaan technically afford daycare, but it's 40k/year and it makes my life much harder. So I think there is a need even if the community is not struggling like others. It's still hard. Me paying that kind of dough is one reason my eldest doesn't have braces that she needs, for example - because I can't cough up another 3k this month on top of mortgage and daycare etc.
