If having a nanny was not an undue financial hardship could you employ her or another person to do crafts and after school activities? If you could stagger your work times it may help. It is possible to school evenings, weekends etc and most people find it only requires a few hours at that age - especially since your daughter has drive and can read.

For me paying childcare has been a major financial strain though so it may not be an option.
