FOR PARENTS

The after school routine is back again. After a long day at school, children need a home routine to lower stress and prepare for the next day. Sometimes, afterschool anxiety can lead to tantrums. Try these tips to help your child adjust and create a routine. Afterschool Adventures also offers lessons to continue learning at home and keep children engaged after the school day.

FOR EDUCATORS
