How to Find After School Activities

Start off by making enquiries. Nothing can beat the power of knowledge.
Approach the school authorities first. Find out in the event that they are offering any
after school activities. Receive a list of the various classes that are
available in your school. In case the school does not provide any
extracurricular activities for the child, approach your neighbors. Collect
knowledge about any after school programs, the quality of the courses
taught and the timings etc. Also, check out some of the community
resources. These may include places of worship, community centers,
Museums, libraries, the YMCA, The Boys and Girls Club etc.

After you have colleted all the necessary knowledge, speak about the various
options together with your child. Find out what his interests are. The best way to
find out what is most suitable is to ask your child. When tiny kids
are tiny, you cannot depend on their feedback. In this case,
monitor the development of the child on a regular basis. If the child
shows excessive resistance to an activity, it may be necessary to look for
other options. Always think about your family's schedule when planning the
extracurricular activities. If it is difficult for you to chauffeur your
child, you may require to employ tutors at home or conduct some activity at
home itself.
