[quote=Anonymous]How much unstructured free play does a 4th or 5th grader need? My DC is in third and tells me that after care is an important time for free play since recess is frequently cut short and we don’t have any peers on our street so casual play outside of school is not an option for us. But I would expect that older elementary kids are not really getting a lot of free play compared to the younger kids and that we will eventually need to find other options. Is it about time that we begin more focused activities each day or even have DC come home alone and study rather than after care? I think they enjoy the time but it does cost a lot and I wonder if it’s worth it.[/quote]
