[quote=Anonymous]My kid is at a 2nd tier charter and I haven't been all that happy with his actual school, but I LOVE his aftercare.

At ours, the PS, PK and K are all together. They basically have centers for the 2.5 hours of aftercare and they try and get the kids outside too. The teachers are great and DC never wants to come home. One of the teachers hits up thrift stores and garage sales every now and then and brings in the toys for the kids to play with too. They do a snack at about 5 and DC always has art to bring home for me.

They do playdoh, blocks, the teachers read stories, they play games like duck duck goose, color and paint, play trucks and dolls and superheros. I've picked up at all different times, anywhere from 20min to being the last parent there, and DC is always engaged and playing, and the teachers are always attentive.

They always have time for me as well, unlike his classroom teacher. I usually find out more about what's going on from aftercare than from the school.

I've never seen a TV at aftercare. DC tells me he watches movies sometimes during school, but never at Kid's House.

We're switching schools next year, but I'm going to miss his aftercare.
