[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry if this isn’t the appropriate forum for this question, but DC has started attending before/aftercare at their MCPS ES and they told me that the program has a Nintendo Switch.  Is this typical?  Part of the appeal of aftercare for me was playtime with no screens.  It also sounds like it leads to conflicts among the kids over playing and kids who are good at it making fun of those who aren’t.  Anyway, just wondering if video games at aftercare is normal? We otherwise like the program.[/quote]

Did you assume that aftercare  had no screens or did the aftercare tell you they had no screens?[/quote]

NP- our program (Kids After Hours) got a Nintendo last year, but prior to that, the only "screens" they did was showing movies for the occasional parents night out event.  I think some parents were a bit surprised by the change, especially since we learned about it through our kids rather than the director.  But FWIW, while initially it was a bit of a novelty (we don't have one at home yet), my DS says he doesn't play it much.  It sounds like there is some sort of schedule so at most an individual kid can play once per day (not sure how long for).  [/quote]
