Hi! Thank you for all the info you share about Cambridge k lottery + afterschool care situation. We just got our K assignment and are looking into afterschool options. Any chance you could help me understand the difference between Community School and Childcare Afterschool? And: do you know if one's chances of getting an afterschool spot are increased if you apply for part-time instead of full-time? (Or, generally -- do you have a post like your K lottery one https://www.cambridgekidhelp.com/blog/cps-pre-kk-lottery-the-13-factors-to-use-in-ranking-your-elementary-school-choices-in-cambridge-table-included with similar info / overall intro to afterschool? We used that post as bible when we were entering K lottery!)

Thank you!

Hi Gigi — I'm so sorry I missed this comment.

If you're still struggling with these choices, please please email me at schraa@gmail.com or call me at 617.270.6549. I had thought to update my original blogpost on choosing an afterschool, but I don't think I can pull it off right now, as I'm working two jobs temporarily. (Which is really too much!!)

Maybe later. But again I'm delighted to chat if you're still thinking it through and have questions!
