I am thinking of traveling with children also. I have alot of good ideas, but putting them into action is the problem! School is the least of my worries...I homeschool mine. It is not as hard as people think...when kids can learn in their own environment and at their own pace, and follow their interests, they soak up knowledge like little sponges.
As for child care...you could hire a nanny to go with you, or you can try to arrange a nanny or in-home babysitter in Charlotte before you accept an assignment there. This is going to be the hard part, for me anyway...I am so picky about who takes care of my children when I'm gone.
Or....let the kids stay in NY with your husband, and let him find child care there.
HTH,
