[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would really think it thru using aftercare for a K student. It is very intimidating with the older kids rough housing, bullying, talking grown-up.  They are all mixed together in cafeteria with the same stuff daily. I think you are better off getting a college student to help him/her off the bus and have her do homework and play with neighborhood friends or take to activities.  [/quote]

Ignore this comment and just find out more about the program at your school--talk to the director.  We only have 1 kid, adore him to pieces and ended up for various reasons using our school's before- and after- care in kindergarten.  It's been great for him to mix with other kids, they kept the kindergarteners separate, have a homework time, clubs and yes, on those random days when they are open but school is closed it is an absolute godsend--even without that, I still feel our son has benefitted.  As an only child, it's been good for him to learn to share and to socialize with a broader group of kids.  Of course, the place I am talking about is particularly well-run.  [/quote]

So why she should she ignore the comment? Your place is well run and separates K students. My school does not do that. Thy also don't truly help ith homework or organize thought-out activities. They have tv's and video games which is awful IMO. it is nice to get various opinions of locations. Some are good and some are bad. [/quote]
