[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Karate places (usually Tae Kwon Do actually) are great.  They normally have an hour for schoolwork and an hour of exercise.  Very fun and good for them too.  We've been doing it for 4 years.  Kids are black belts and really enjoy it.  [/quote]

I second this. We've been using a TKD studio for afterschool care for a few years as well. It's a great way to get my kids exercise without me having to cart them to another activity. They love it.

We are looking for after care also for next academic year. Could you please let me know how TKD's work? Do they actually pick up children from school or do parents need to drop them off?

OP here. I just contacted the closest tae kwon do place near our home and they do have aftercare. A van picks them up daily, they do homework for an hour and then they do tae kwon do for an hour. You have to pick them up by 6:00 and it costs $150/week.

I'm ok with the cost but I don't necessarily want my son to do tae kwon do daily. I'd rather enroll him in soccer, music, etc.

Ugh. I feel like I need to quit my job or cut down my hours so I can pick up my son everyday. DH can comfortably support us financially. We don't need my income.[/quote]
