A good afterschool program can turn the aimless hours after school into productive learning time. That’s a big benefit, especially for kids who learn and think differently.
Here are six things a high-quality afterschool program can do for kids:
Create a sense of belonging.
Improve social skills.
Provide academic support (homework help).
Make learning more fun.
Age appropriate activities in confined supervision.
Build confidence.
We don't get to decide whether we have challenging students in our classes,
but we can certainly decide how we respond to them...
