The Benefits of After-School Programs

TAs mentioned above, our after-school programs are an excellent opportunity for your child to grow emotionally, physically, and cognitively. Here are some more details about the benefits that come with enrolling your child in an after-school program in the Fayetteville and Spring Lake, NC area:

• Supervision: According to the Afterschool Alliance, 1 in 5 young children spend their after school hours alone. This is time that they could be supervised by an adult, in a safe and comfortable environment, developing important social and emotional skills. After-school programs not only promote youth development but also decrease risky behaviors that come with being unsupervised!
• Physical activity: Making sure your child gets enough physical activity is crucial to their overall health and development. An after-school program like the one at Wonder Years Child Care & Learning Center gives your child the opportunity to stay active while having a great time with their peers!
• School participation: Another finding by the Afterschool Alliance showed that young children that attend after-school programs participate more in school during the day! These programs help students better adjust to the next level of schooling and make them comfortable interacting with their fellow classmates.

These are just a few of the benefits that come with after-school programs. If you are interested in learning more about the specific after-school program we offer to the youth in Fayetteville and Spring Lake, NC, call us today!
