An after school program can offer a wide variety of benefits for your child and you as a parent. It’s a good place to widen your child’s interests, for them to be introduced to new things, that can be interesting, different, challenging, or a bit of each. The structure of the program can really help your child with their development. There are many other benefits to an after school program – these include:
