Agreed. Especially since most kindergartens aren't even a half day, they're more like 2.5-3 hours. So you have to find a daycare that can accommodate pick-up (or drop-off) if there is no onsite care at the school. Obviously they're going to charge a decent amount since you're short on options and they're doing a majority of the daily care.
The system is not set up for two working parents.
