Program Standards
After school programs should all meet certain standards. The National AfterSchool Association has identified several keys to quality. Look for these keys when you visit your local after school program. If you see them, you'll know that your child will be well-cared for in a safe and enriching environment. If you don't see them, feel free to ask the program director about them. Here's what to look for:
How do staff members work with the children?
- Do they treat children with respect and listen to what they have to say?
- They should make children feel welcome and comfortable.
- Do they know each child's interests, personality, culture and home language?
- Do they help children learn by giving them opportunities to think for themselves?
- Do they use positive techniques to guide the behavior of children by giving children attention when they cooperate, share, care for materials or join in activities?
- Are they engaged with the students throughout the activities?
What is the indoor environment like?
- Is there open space for activities?
- Is there comfortable furniture for relaxing?
- Is there a quiet space for homework and tutoring?
- Is there enough room for all activities?
