I am starting work as a teacher in August and my wife works evenings as a nurse 5 nights a week. We're trying to find a daycare or something that would take the kids afternoons from 12-1pm until 5. So far everyone I've talked to at daycares acts like I'm nuts thinking this is possible. I've never done this before so I had no idea.
 
Does anyone have any experiences, ideas, resources, etc. that could help? 4951

There's also the drop-in daycare on Northpark (in the plaza with Gold's Gym) - Playhouse, I think it is called. I know they offer decent prices when you buy multiple sessions. Have you called Kids in Action? (Corner of Northpark and Woodland Hills - behind the gas station).Also, maybe try Care.com to see if you can find a Nanny or a parent who's looking to make a little extra money during the week? Good luck!! 4951

Most daycares need to have the child/children dropped off before 10am. They have to count them present or not. Kinda like school. My son has been in La Petite for almost 4 years and that is their policy. Same with my baby who is in another school. They can only be dropped off after 10am with a dr note of some sort. You need to find an "at home daycare", mom's day out, etc.  Individuals are likely to allow it more than a big daycare company.@mattc 4951

Talk to some fellow teachers. There are daycares operated out of private homes that are exclusively for teachers.
Yes it is against HOA rules, but unless you are one of the Nazis on the HOA, who really cares?

@mattc: How old are the children?  This sounds great for a Lone Star college student who has classes in the morning or evening.  If you are on Facebook, join the group called "Kingwood Humble Atascosita Classifieds" or something like that. People with unusual schedules seem to have success finding nannies on there.

@mattc: How old are your children?  Your best bet is probably an in-home type place.  Be careful though.  I just read an insane story from NY.  The woman is a babysitter for a family and her child did not have school one day so she brought him (4 years old) with her to the couple's apartment.  But she didn't want them to know she had her kid with her, so he put one of those backpack leashes on the kid and tethered him to a bush in the complex!  Someone saw the kid and called 911.  Scary that she was in charge of other peoples kids when she treats her in such a way!  That being said, I don't mean to scare you, but you get what you pay for!  There was a previous thread about how expensive daycare is and I did a breakdown of the hourly cost and it is actually very very cheap.  Just keep that in mind when you are getting quotes, you are paying someone to ensure the welfare of your child, so you should be ready to pay for that peace of mind.  Good Luck!
