[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We used aftercare until one of our kids was being bullied and the aftercare folks were not being responsive. We then hired a sitter for the afternoons and while she was more expensive, the benefit to our kids was even more than I'd expected. Just getting to come home, have a snack, and decompress, plus getting a start on homework was huge. Their grades and behavior improved a ton -- it wasn't bad before but I didn't realize how much better it could be. [/quote]

Thank you for sharing. At what age was this? Definitely need to pay attention to aftercare situation. [/quote]

We did aftercare for prek3 and part of prek4 before switching to a sitter. It was just pure chaos, almost no supervision, and extremely overwhelming. The turnover is wild; when he had a teacher he connected with it was great, but that would only last a few weeks. And to be fair, the hours and pay are pretty bad, so I get it, but it’s definitely but a lot better not doing aftercare. [/quote]
