School Age Childcare

 

What has traditionally been known as “After-School” care is now being

referred to as School Age Care, as there is a need in some areas for childcare in the mornings when parents may have to drive a substantial distance to work, as well as a need for childcare for holiday time, in-service days etc.

Generally in South Kerry, services provide childcare for school-children after school hours.

Services provide some or all of the following:

· Collect from the local school

· Provide a snack on arrival

· Supervise homework

· Organise games and other age appropriate activities

· Bring in outside tutors for activities one or twice a week

The term “Homework Club” refers to services which prioritise homework from an academic point of view.
