Before and after school care or not?

[Inspired by Reggio]

I personally do not like being bound to the 'clock' of having to work around drop off and pick up from school so offering before and after school care is not my cup of tea

However if I was HAVING to do this anyway because my OWN children were school age and needing to be dropped off and picked up from school than this IS a service that is generally high in demand and if you can find a client at the SAME school to provide transportation for or pick up at the same bus stop as your child if they are bused this could have many benefits for you!

Yes while the income would be a little less the investment in a playmate for your son could pay of in SPADES at making your daycare run smoother for sure cause he could come home from school and have someone to 'hang with' verses being with younger peers he might not have the patience for after the long day of school plus on PD, March Breaks and summer someone his age for those LONG daycare days
