We are rounding up a list of some suggestions to help your family fill
the after-school hours with affordable care:
Get An After-School Nanny Or
Babysitter- When it comes to choosing an
after-school nanny, select someone who can pick up your children from the
school and bring them home, help with homework, plan activities, perform some
light housekeeping if you ask. Opt for an after-school babysitter if your kids are
a little older and you need someone to simply watch them until you get home.
Make sure that the person you choose to care for your child should hold infant
and child CPR certification.
Family Child Care- Kids tend to benefit from a small, family-like
environment since they (this form of care) are run in a provider’s home and you
know they're taken care of until you get home.
Enrichment Programs- An after-school enrichment program may include tutoring in one or more subjects,
learning at a museum-based program or other forms of enrichment. These programs may be found
locally at children's museums, recreation centers or tutoring centers, so sign
up for these.
Register In A School-Based Program- Teachers, in some schools offer after-school child
care. Children are in a safe environment and will be familiar with adults
involved in providing care.
YMCA- YMCA in some areas offers after-school care on the school premises.
Search for YMCA or B&G Club chapters near you. If there’s none, look over what
other community-based organizations might offer a similar service.
