I don't know, but I doubt that not being able to do school stuff with your child is limited to providers. There are plenty of parents out there who can't just take time off work for this stuff. You could pick a few activities per year at which you would like to volunteer and use your vacation days for those...honestly I hate to sound prejudice or anything but I always thought that doing these sort of things was mostly for stay at home moms, although I know I myself would like to take 1-2 days off this year to volunteer at some activities.
