[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, most parents do not send their K students to aftercare. I would say 5-10% max of the after club are K students and most have an older sibling. It is just too much/too long for 5yr olds. And historically in our school, the kids going thru 6yrs of aftercare are not the brightest or well behaved. [/quote]

Oh good lord. OP, call KAH at your school and ask approximately how many K students they have and whether their activities are different. For your amusement, I suppose you could also ask whether 6 years of afterschool care makes children dumber and less well behaved than the children who spend those 2 hours at home with their mothers.

I expect this may be a class issue. I suppose at some upper class schools, it is uncommon for children to have 2 working parents so not many parents make use of aftercare. At our school, fully a quarter of the student body uses KAH, so there are lots of 2-working-professional families.

I'll be sending my kindergartener to KAH this fall from 3:30-5:00 and he is SO excited.[/quote]

A quarter of the kids? Wow. That would be over 200 kids in our school.  Ours maybe has 40 kids total and I am glad. [/quote]
