[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think kids that skip the high value after care at MV or YY miss out on a lot?[/quote]

I don't think that they miss any of the general education, but I think that there is a value to an additional 3 hours of time in the program.  Not three hours worth in terms of programming, as much of it is play, but the kids in aftercare get more exposure to some of the specials that they are learning about during the day and they get more exposure to spanish (if that isn't their home language, of course).  I thought a lot about this issue, as I had a choice to use or not use, and I have gone back and forth. In the end, I think that my child gets more benefit from spending the additional time at school than she did with spending the additional time with me because the only way that I could do it was by sacrificing my own sleep and thus being a less enthusiastic parent.  Moreover, when she was with me, I found myself not giving her enough time to play with other kids, which is a real benefit for an only child.  So, no, I don't think that kids that don't go are being deprived or have less value in the regular day, but I do see great benefit for at least my child in attending.[/quote]
