Welcome to the Standish Recreation After-School Program. Our goal in this program is to ease the transition between school and home on a daily basis, and to provide quality recreational experiences to all the participants. Studies indicate that with the majority of homes having working parents, the precious evening hours are spent doing homework and preparing for the next days' activities, leaving little time for anything else. In offering this program, we are also hoping to offer an alternative to the "latchkey child" who is going home to an empty house, or to the
child who is going to a daycare setting that is unable to offer the age-appropriate programs that we will provide. We think we are offering a program with the right mix of recreation and education, but we are not intending to fill the role of a daycare provider in any way – this is strictly a recreation program providing recreational opportunities for grade school-aged children.
Other information about the program, its special events and field trips and its newsletters is available at the links below.
