I am always seeking a reasonable daycare or day camp for my 9 year old daughter, who attends a year round school, she'll be off track in June and I can't afford 4th R Daycare prices as they get higher when she's there all day (10 hrs.)I've contacted the YMCA and they're Day Camp is 140.00 per week (if you're a member) I don't seem to qualify for financial assistance, but I can barely afford cost of living in all categories! I don't have family to watch her, so financially these off times gets very stressful for me. I wish I can find a wholesome college student or teenager who's willing to make a few dollars and who would be dependable, trustworthy-that's living in a perfect world, which we're not..anyway, if anyone out there has any suggestions for me, I would greatly appreciate your thought--God Bless

I have mentioned this to a few moms before...my son goes to a CDC (Child Development Center) that's onsite at his school in Antelope. We don't have to pay because it's low income...so even if you didn't qualify, it might not be that much. It would be worth looking into. You can also find out where there other sites are if that one isn't convenient for you. The number for the Antelope site is ###-###-####..but I'm sure they could give you their main office number or website address. Hope this helps...I know how hard it can be to find childcare....I thank goodness that my family is able to help a lot!!

Community centers have camps, and libraries offer them also, look in the parks and recreation book located at any community center/library.

Good Morning H.,
I was just sitting at my desk yesterday thinking the same thing, one of my co workers and i both live in the South Sacramento area and she gave me a heads up on the boys and girls club:-)on Lemon Hill, it's only $50.00 for the whole summer and i believe there might be a small additional charge should they go on a field trip. My daughter will be 8yrs old next Friday and thats where she'll be at this summer. My husband is a youth counslor and he often takes he's boys there and when i mentioned our daughter going he loved the idea because their separated by age groups so she wont be around anyone older then her own age group. I pray this finds you some peace this summer:-) (I think the hours are from 10am-6pm)
