Oahu - After School Childcare Help!

How do you working parents deal with after-school care??

I applied for the YMCA A-Plus program for the upcoming school year. Even though I had my application submitted as soon as the application link went live, I just got the notification that my child is waitlisted. I get that they have a bunch of applicants but to be in the system so quickly and still be waitlisted is wild…

My child is enrolled for an elementary in Ewa. Both my husband and I work in town and have no family here. What other options are there? How do other working families handle this?

We don’t have anyone else who can pick up our child, and he is too young (grade k) to even consider having him walk or catch the school bus home.

Anyone else had a similar situation?? What other options can we consider? We can’t be the only ones dealing with this.

Any help or suggestions is very appreciated!
