Hey Everyone,
After school clubs are godsends for busy mums and dads and play their own role in childhood development too. They are an affordable form of childcare within a safe educational environment while quite different to specialised tutoring sessions. A kids camp in London shares more on the benefits of after school clubs for children.
A Subsidised Childcare Solution
After school clubs are usually partially funded by the government and are cheaper than arranging for private childcare. Teachers are able to mind children from as early as 8 am at breakfast club up to 6:00 pm after school. Perfect for the 9 to 5-ers. Parents can also be reassured that their children are in safe and capable hands as they are also OFSTED regulated. As they take place on school site, you won’t need to worry about your child having to make their way to a friend or family member’s house either.
Developing Social Skills
During this time children can mix with their peers and make new friends. The additional time outside of lessons allows them to improve their social skills.
Making Sure That Homework Is All Done
We all know how important homework is in helping to reinforce new teaching to children. By enrolling your child in an afterschool club, after a busy day of work, you can go home without the worry of having to get homework done as it’s been covered. This can help to boost your child’s academic performance by ensuring that all homework is completed and by allowing them to access teacher support.
More Fun than Being in Class
A longer school day from 8 am to 6 pm can be exhausting for children and afterschool clubs strike the perfect balance. Many allow children to do arts and crafts while others allow them to play video games.
