3 After School Activities
That Will Leave Your Child Begging For More
We’re deep into September.
In fact, we’re so deep into it that we’re almost out of it.
As the days grow shorter, it’s hard not to notice that back-to-school weight we all seem to carry.
With extra activities, groceries to be bought, dinner to be eaten, and school lunches to be packed, the weight of stress falls heavier on our shoulders.
It’s about this time that most parents begin to realize the benefits in after-school activities.

Whether you have one, two, or five children, after-school activities give the parent back some time to get done the stuff that needs getting done.
But what about the preschooler in your life?
Many—if not most—after school programs are designed for school-aged children. Unfortunately, this leaves many parents scrambling to keep their preschoolers busy at all times, making those few hours after work increasingly difficult. It is not impossible, however.
With a little research, it’s easy to find an activity for your toddler that will keep them busy and active throughout those last few daylight hours. Whether you and your spouse are in work until 6pm or you need the extra time to get life together for the week, an after school activity will leave your child happy and fulfilled. Before deciding on an activity, however, be sure that a program is what your child and family truly need.
Ask Yourself:
- Will your child be able to handle the extended time away from you and the family?
- Will this extra time be beneficial for both you and your preschooler?
- Will your wallet be able to take the financial hit?
If all of these questions seem perfectly amenable to you, then it’s time you consider these three solutions for after school toddler care.
