My son has been in daycare since he was six weeks old. He is nine now.

Our daycare usually has pretty liberal hours--usually 7 am to 6:30pm. Rarely would he be there the entire time. I would drop him off at around 8 am, and pick him up at around 5:30. Now he goes to after school care at his school. It closes at 6 pm and costs $55/week.
