Why Afterschool is Important
Quality afterschool programs help working families, keep children safe and inspire learning. By participating in a variety of fun, engaging activities – from the arts to sports to technology – children improve their personal, social and academic skills.
And, studies show, they’re less likely than peers to skip school, try drugs or alcohol, and engage in sexual activity or other risky, unhealthy behavior.
If your children were in a quality afterschool program, you wouldn’t have to worry because you’d know they were getting homework help, eating a healthy snack, learning new skills and making new friends.
You’d know they were cared for by well-trained staff that encourages them to try new things while helping to keep them on a successful path toward adulthood.
