Parents who are looking for activities after school for their children have a lot of options. Research shows that spending time with your children helps your child in many ways including academic. You can garden together, jog while they ride their bike or do arts and crafts at home. Anything that can take them away from video games and the television is always a good thing.
Some parents can't spend time with their children after school. So the next next best thing is after school programs operated by community organizations, schools, or city services like the parks. See the list below for some ideas:
