Many preschools are in churches.
Others operate independently. Some preschools also have summer fun days or camps that go beyond the September to June school year. Even at preschools with half-day programs, working parents may be able to find another parent to keep their child after hours. There are caregivers who have built their businesses caring for children after preschool ends at noon. Ask the schools for recommendations and try to hook up with other parents for carpooling.
