[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d absolutely have my child come home and chill. I’d have a small snack ready and let her watch an hour of TV and read. She will already have been at school all day and there’s no benefit to her attending after care. Thanks [/quote] There is a definite benefit to the parents. And I think having the option to play for another couple of hours rather than sit around and watch TV is beneficial to a kid. [/quote] My kid enjoyed the time to play with her friends and run around on the playground. When school had started back in person but there was no aftercare, she'd come home and be frustrated that we couldn't play with her, and it was harder to concentrate on my work. An hour or two at aftercare gives me time to finish my work so I can be fully present when she gets home, and she gets a good social outlet and some more exercise. [/quote]
