The Benefits of After School Programs
After-school care is more than just a convenience — a supportive after-school program should offer a range of benefits for both children and their families. At Primary Beginnings, we operate on the principle that it should be a valuable extension of the school day that helps your child bridge the gap between school and home. To that end, we provide a structured and supportive setting that goes beyond academics — we foster holistic development and address the diverse needs of children.
Academic Improvement
At Primary Beginnings, we believe that after school programs should and can contribute to the academic success of our students. Whether it’s by offering our principles through our creative curriculum, or other educational enrichment activities, there are vast opportunities for our after school program to be a safe place to learn, grow, and play.
There is also significant research to support this.
Research shows summer learning and afterschool literacy-based programs reduce academic achievement gaps and improve literacy levels, according to one NCSL report.
“Some studies have found that, when compared with children who do not participate in before and after-school programs, the youngsters who do participate achieve higher grades in school, [and] exhibit more positive work habits in school.”
Dr. Mary Larner, a Policy Analyst and Editor with the David and Lucile Packard Foundation’s Children, Families, and Communities Program
With the guidance of our trained staff, students can receive individualized help with their assignments, ensuring a deeper understanding of the material. This not only reinforces classroom learning but also helps cultivate good study habits and time management skills.
Social and Emotional Development
After school programs play a crucial role in enhancing the social and emotional development of children. These school programs provide a safe and inclusive space where students can engage in positive interactions with their peers and mentors. Team-building activities, group projects, and organized games foster the development of important social skills such as communication, cooperation, and conflict resolution. The sense of community within an after school program helps build lasting friendships and contributes to a child’s overall well-being.
What Our After Hours Care Offers
Extracurricular Experiences
Before and after school care provides a variety of activities to appeal to a ton of diverse interests and the talents of many students. From arts and crafts to sports, music, and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) activities, these programs expose children to a range of extracurricular experiences, so they can figure out their personality by choosing which ones they like best. This exposure not only broadens their horizons but also helps them discover and nurture their passions, potentially sparking lifelong interests or even future career paths.
Safety
Our before and after school care provides a secure and supervised environment during the crucial hours after the regular school day. Strict safety protocols, including careful supervision by trained staff members, ensure that children are accounted for and engaged in activities that are not only educational but also safe. Plus, these programs often collaborate closely with parents to communicate vital information about each child’s whereabouts and well-being.
Peace of Mind for Parents
For working parents, before and after school care provides a practical solution to the challenge of balancing work schedules with the needs of their children. Knowing that their children are in a safe and supervised environment after school hours offers peace of mind. This allows parents to fulfill work responsibilities without compromising the well-being and development of their children.
