We are contemplating moving our kids to public school this fall but we have concerns about the after school care program.
Our main concerns are:
1. Ensuring the kids get to the CDC program once school is out
Has anyone had issues where their kid did not make it to the CDC?
2. Type of activities
I've talked to two different ones and they say there is a good mix of things to do and it's not just free play.
3. Study time
They also said there is time set aside to do homework which would help free up some of our time at night. I don't mind doing homework with my kids, but since both of them are going to be doing next year, a little less would be nice.
4. Mix of kids ages
Since most elementary schools go to grade 6, we are a bit concerned about the interaction between ages. I'm not ready for my 6-year old to start acting like an 11-year old.
Do any parents out there use any of the IUSD after school care programs and what are your thoughts?
