Stop trying to do so and start trying to figure out how to not need it instead.
Get married before having kids, and stay married once you have them.
Consider home schooling and arranging work schedules to accomodate.
Go back to a multi-generational approach to family so that you are near grandparents who can help out.
Basically, stop depending on strangers to raise your kids for you and be more responsible about having kids in the first place.

I made it sharper by having a stay at home wife. I wasn’t interested in paying someone to raise our children.

After school care isn't much better. Kids get out and stay at after school care for approximately 45 minutes to an hour till we can get there to pick them up. Cost approximately $600 a month for two kids.
My suggestion would be for teachers to run an after school program at the school. Teachers can make a little bit of extra money to stay at the school for an extra hour or two watching kids play on the playground and do homework and not be an outrageous price.
