I am currently in discussions with a day care here in the Netherlands, probably they will just add us as a pickup/dropoff point -- the Dutch day cares pick up the kids at school mostly, and for people who have to get to work early they take them to school also. The sticking point for them is the lack of regular pickup/drop off times. We may just have to set some, though I would rather have it go a different way. The other option of course is to just have some babysitters on call, but that requires a level of screening and coordination I am not sure I am willing to take on. If the space were a little bigger I would offer it on site and just have sitters. But we are not so there we are.
