[quote=Anonymous]What's available in aftercare varies widely depending on the school and the program sponsoring it. CM offers regular aftercare (usually books, puzzles, art projects, singing songs) as well as specialized Clubs for which you can pay extra (e.g., Chinese Immersion, Lego Club, Yoga, Music, Spanish, French). If you regularly see kids watching TV or movies, I'd talk to the program and voice concern. I don't think it's reasonable for aftercare programs to plop students down in front of the TV on a regular basis. I'm not totally anti-TV (my child watches some at home), but if I'm paying you to care for my child, I'm not crazy about the idea of TV being a significant part of the program. I think the kids at CM watched a couple holiday movies (e.g., Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph) during December, and I have no problem with that, provided it's not an everyday occurence. Just my 2 cents.
