OK, so we moved here and I knew that I would eventually need some help with childcare but I put if off until now. I will need someone or some program to care for my girls ages 6 and 10 after school until my husband can pick them up. I have never left my girls with anyone except their Aunt or Grandmother (who are back in New York) so I am very anxious about this. If anyone has any experience can you please help? I am not opposed to an after school program if there is good supervision and the girls will enjoy it. I don't know if their schools even offer such a thing (Powhaten and Smithfield Middle). I am so excited to be working but this is stressing me out!
Try the YMCA located 40/42 going towards Clayton. I did when my children were younger, and its still there.
Robin's Nest off Old Drug Store Rd is great. They offer before and after school. They open at 6:30am. I just started my son there. He will be in kindergaten in the fall and I needed somewhere for him to go so I started him there for the summer so that he would be comfortable with them before going off to big school. It has been a great place and Ms. Kay is the best and very loving to all the children.
This would probably not be convenient for her if her kids go to Powhaten and Smithfield Middle schools.
