Choosing after school care for your child is difficult yet critical to their well being and development. You are choosing the best environment and person to be your partner in providing care and learning for your child. Good communication is the key to establishing and maintaining this partnership. Spend time during your search to interview each potential option for care. Once you have made your choice and begun the care, establish regular times to discuss:
- Eating and sleeping patterns
- Medical concerns/needs
- Special outings
- Activities at home
- Family changes
You can also visit the After School pages of this website for more information about programs for adolescents and younger school-age children, as well as summer programs.
