[quote=Anonymous]Aftercare is the best thing I ever did for my Kindergartner last year.

I dreaded it.  I feared it wouldn't work.  I feared he wouldn't be able to handle it.

And it turned out to be the absolutely best thing to get him to open up socially and learn independence in a safe environment.  Kids don't get a lot of free play in school these days. Aftercare gives them a safe environment in which they get to independently choose which activity to do, they get to walk around the school (with people watching them with walkie talkies) and they get to interact with kids of all ages.

I know stay at home parents who wish they could send their children to aftercare on random days because their kids want to go.

I totally respect stay at home parents.  I think there is a benefit to kids getting home early enough to have time to play with neighbor kids or relax at home.  But for those of us who choose to work, aftercare is no where close to being cruel.  There are actually some real benefits to it.  [/quote]
