what age do kids stop daycare
That daycare takes kids from 2-12....I know people who had to go til they were 12. The daycare sends a van to pickup kids who go there after school. If your child is responsible then about 9 or so he should be able to take care of himself at home as a latch key kid. If hes a little turd then maybe 13 just so someone can keep an eye on him. Depends on your kid, your neighborhood, family situation, how long hes alone, a host of factors.
It depends on what the alternatives are. My kids are 6 and 8 and go over to their cousin's grandmother's house with their cousin after school or on off days. The daycare they used to go to, though (and still attend in the summertime) had kids up to 12 years old. Why don't you talk to the parents of some of his friends and see what their kids do, and if they have any suggestions.
