After school program in Richmond Hill

Are you a parent looking for an after school program with more to offer?  The M.A.T. Centre has got you covered! Our after school program will pick up your child from school and safely transport them to our Newkirk Rd. facility in one of our five , 5-star rated Dodge Grand Caravan, one of two 15 passenger Chevrolet Savanna vans or board certified taxi.  After school when you pick up by 6 pm your child will have had a healthy snack, one hour of martial arts/physical activity and their homework completed. Our program has been created for your child’s needs and are managed by an Ontario Certified York Region Elementary School Teacher.

A slew of recent studies indicate that older kids and teens are most likely to get in trouble or engage in some form of risky behaviour between 3 and 6 in the afternoon. You may have guessed, most of these high-risk kids are also “latch-key” kids, left to fend for themselves after school until a parent or guardian gets home from work. The fate of these kids has become a hot topic for debate and policy makers have been scrambling for workable solutions to the problem. Proposed solutions have come in all shapes and sizes including:

• Extended school hours
• Government-funded after school programs
• Tax credits to cover babysitters
• Laws mandating parents be home when their kids get home

About the only solution to the problem of unsupervised kids that seems to have gained any traction is the idea of the after school program. These programs, run primarily by various private enterprises, have been proven to work, though the quality of service kids receive as well as the cost can vary greatly from facility to facility.

What Makes a Great After School Program?

So, after school program represent perhaps the most effective real-world solution to the problem of unsupervised kids yet devised. But what separates the good programs from the not-so-good ones? Social service professionals say the best programs:

• Safe, reliable transportation between facility and school.
• An environment where the student can do their homework.
• Help with that homework should the child need or want it.
• Safe, healthy activities for children of different age groups.
• Healthy, nutritious food.
• Pre-teens’ budding autonomy without writing them a blank cheque.

Unfortunately, not all after school program offer everything on this list.  Some don’t provide food, others charge extra for it and some have one-size-fits-all activities they expect all the kids to participate in, regardless of age.

By contrast, the M.A.T. Center offers one of the most comprehensive programs of this kind in Richmond Hill.  In the afternoon they’re picked up at school and driven back to our clean, modern facility where they participate in age-appropriate activities, receive healthy snacks and are given the opportunity to complete their homework. All academic activity is Managed by a board certified teacher and physical activities can include basic kickboxing (karate classes) , Brazilian Jiu-jitsu or other martial arts training if you desire.

Not all  after school program are created equal. It’s important that you shop around and find the one that’s best suited to your needs both practical and financial. Be thorough, be patient and compare all the features different programs offer. Your kids will be glad you did.
