Help a Mom: Afterschool programs for year-round middle school students
Middle schools don't provide on-site afterschool care, and my upcoming sixth grader isn't ready to stay home alone, writes a Go Ask Mom reader.
Posted — UpdatedI'm resurrecting an old feature Go Ask Mom had because I got a great question from a Raleigh mom, who is trying to line up afterschool care for her rising sixth grader, who will be at a year-round school on Track 3.
Here's what the mom writes: "Have any readers asked about creative afterschool care ideas for sixth graders? Middle schools don't provide on-site afterschool care, and my upcoming 6th grader isn't ready to stay home alone" - or walk home from the bus stop, she adds. A nanny is too expensive. She's contacted a local daycare, but it requires parents pay all year - even if their child will be tracked out and won't be there.
