[quote=Russell]Next to parents taking care of their own kids extended family cooperation would be best IMO, not that we all have so many easy options.
From my location there are several good full time and after school care options managed by great people. It is however my position that daycare and after school care are overused when it becomes a regular five day a week thing.Day care and after school care are fantastic, used in moderation, with the right people, when the kids are ready and want to go.[/quote]
