Please think about this. The person who is helping your child do homework might be an idiot. DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS DO THEIR HOMEWORK AT CHILD CARE.
Do homework at home. It always annoyed me that parents would be mad because I refused to make the kids do homework while in my care. I told them how they would feel if their child missed every question and started flunking their homework every day.
They said they'd be mad. So I told them if they wanted to make sure it was done right then it was THEIR responsibility and it will remain the parents job forever.
Kids need to have playtime after school. They have been sitting for 8 hours and need to blow off steam, they need to play video games, board games, play with puzzles, color out of a coloring book, goof off. They are kids not adults with full time jobs.
I think kids who don't get to have play time are sad little kids that need someone to advocate for them.
Let your child have play time for those few hours per day when they are with their friends. When they come home it's time for homework while dinner it getting made and then it's time for bedtime.
That's all I have to say about this. Kids need play time after a long day at school. They also need their own mom or dad to do the homework thing with them.

I would suggest you check prices and find out exactly what it is that is costing you $60 per day. That is more than private school for full time students are here.
"but what I can't see is that if they have a daily rate over $60,".
Most after school programs/child care only charge a few bucks per day after school is over. Like maybe $12-18 per day. I would never pay $60 per day because that is over $10 per hour for child care. I'd never pay that.
