[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s no reason for private aftercare not to start immediately. I don’t know why DCPS run aftercare can’t start immediately either - I have no idea what the obstacles are to that. I guess because it’s free you get what you get. [/quote] DCPS after care is run by teachers and they don't do it the first week or the last week of school because teachers have other extra responsibilities those weeks. Also they are busy preparing for their classrooms in the week before school. The programs that start immediately have separate funding and other staff who can focus on getting aftercare up and running on Day 1 and are not fully engaged with a full time job of preparing to teach students on Day 1 as well. Even aftercare programs that involve teachers -- if they have professional paid staff other than teachers then they have more bandwidth.[/quote]
