3 Benefits of Afterschool Programs
As children get older, their experience in school is a crucial part of their overall development. Being a part of an afterschool program can serve to be a positive and influential part of this experience in many ways, and Wee-Folk Child Care Center is proud to offer quality before and after-school programs for children in the Buffalo, Lackawanna, Orchard Park, and Hamburg, NY areas. Below are just a few of the many benefits of enrolling your child in an afterschool program:
Afterschool Programs Can Benefit Academic Performance
Many afterschool programs offer tutoring, homework help, or simply just time specifically set aside to focus on homework, studying, and other school projects. With this, afterschool programs can certainly serve as a source of extra academic support and help children that may be struggling in school.
An Afterschool Program Can help With Socialization
When children have a place to go for a few hours after school, they can meet friends organically and get to know the other kids in their class a little bit better. Even if your child is a bit shy, interacting with other children on a regular basis, especially in a supervised, safe space like an after-school program, typically helps to improve social skills early on.
Afterschool Programs Can Provide A Structured Routine
Enforcing some sort of routine is typically always beneficial in a child’s life. Routines help to provide stability for children, as well as help kids understand time management and healthy habits. Our professional team at Wee Folk Child Care would love to be a part of your child’s before or after-school routine. We provide a home-cooked breakfast in the mornings, and fun activities, homework help, and nutritional snacks after school to both provide your child with a place they will look forward to being after school and help to make your hectic schedule that much easier for you.
Our goal at Wee-Folk Child Care is to provide a positive and fun after-school environment for children in the Buffalo, NY and Southtowns areas. If you’re looking for a quality after-school program for your children, we encourage you to contact our team today.
