REASONS YOUR
CHILD SHOULD BE
ENROLLED IN AN

4. As a parent, the time between
when school gets out and you
get home can be one of the
most stressful times of the day.

5. While you may know that you
can trust your child, getting
home, completing homework
and staying safe are all
tremendous responsibilities for
a child at any age.

6. Fortunately, after school programs are
tremendous assets for parents that you
can use to reduce the worry for both you
and your child.

7. Here are the most important benefits that
your family can enjoy when you enroll
your child in an after school program.

8. HEALTH AND SAFETY BENEFITS

9. One of the first reasons why you may consider
an after school program is to ensure the safety
of your child.

10. Young children are often not
equipped to handle
emergencies that may arise,
and a quality after school care
program will include staff
members with CPR and First
Aid training.

11. In addition to the close supervision that your
children will receive, you can also know that they
have safe transportation available when you
choose a local after school program that offers
this option.

12. Nutritious snacks and
physical activities will also
help to give your child the
fuel they need for healthy
development.

13. ACADEMIC SUPPORT

14. Busy parents know that trying to prepare
dinner, complete homework and connect with
their child can all seem impossible to do in the
few hours left after work.

15. For this reason, after school programs focus on providing
targeting academic instruction that can help your child
focus on the areas of learning that they need most.

16. From homework completion to individual tutoring, you
can arrange for academic services that will increase your
child’s chances for success.

17. EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

18. All work and no play
can make for a very
unhappy child.

19. However, young children
who go home after
school have limited
options for releasing
their energy and
exploring new interests.

20. In an after school program,
children have opportunities
to expand their learning
with activities that include
gymnastics, robotics
and drama.

21. Outdoor fun is also
encouraged, and activities
such as learning to rock
climb or planting a garden
can teach valuable skills
that transfer to academic
success.

22. When children attend an
after school program that
encourages taking risks
and exploring the world
around them …

23. … they get excited about
learning and cannot wait to
see what will happen each
new day.

24. EMPOWERMENT AND MOTIVATION

25. During their early years,
a child’s confidence is
developed through their
academic and after
school experiences.

26. Therefore, it is
important for children to
know that they have the
support of other adults
outside their family who
understand the
importance of
developing self-esteem.

27. At an after school program,
children are encouraged to
strive for their greatest
potential, and trained staff
members scaffold their
learning while offering
opportunities for greater
independence.

28. Helping other students,
mastering a new skill and
being recognized for their
achievements all help
children to be empowered to
reach new heights.

29. Finding the right childcare arrangements for after
school is one of the most important decisions you
will make as a parent.

30. By enrolling your child in an after school care
program you can enjoying hearing all about your
child’s fun afternoon when you get home …

31. … while knowing that they received the full
benefit of a well-rounded program that supports
their learning and development.

32. Let your kids enjoy the after
school program experience at
Maplewood Summer Day
Camp.

33. Experienced staff will keep your
child both safe and busy with arts
and crafts, games, water sports,
gymnastics and more.
