before and after school programs:gives school aged children a place to go before and after school while the parents are working. usually are operated at 6:00 until 9:00 and reopens at 3:00 until 6:00and transportation to and from school is provided.

also there are crisis nurseries:a child care center that is provided to as a way to prevent child abuse, parent that are overstressedand are at risk of abusing their children may use a crisis nursery. usuallly opend 24 hours

parent cooperatives:parents that get together play groups or a preschool of their own, parents take turns doing secretarial work or caring for the children.

other programs such as mothers day out program and also malls and health clubs offer drop off care for their patrons also respite care that gives parents time off from their children with special needs. and also tot spot that offer 24 hr. drop off for children and it doesnt have to be on a regular basis. you usually pay only for the hours your child was in their care.
