After school costs
Can you share your after school program experience in your area? And cost?
We have done a YMCA in the past as part of a school wraparound. It was $275/mo per kid 5 days a week. That was the rate if you had a Y membership which we did. The group was fun and the kids got extra outdoor time, but it felt understaffed to me. We also have a town program that is only $100/mo. The staffing levels are high but it’s all inside and they allow electronics once a week which hasn’t been thrilling to me, but the kids enjoy it. What has your experience been?
