Do you know where your kids are after class ends? Though the afternoon may seem like a safe, harmless time for your kids to fend for themselves until you get home, experts suggest the hours between 3 and 6 p.m. offer plenty of opportunities for children and teens to experiment with risky behavior. If you’re looking for an effective antidote, FasTracKids in New York City offers a selection of after-school programs that provide a positive, proactive environment to help your kids stay focused and out of trouble while supporting their academic achievement.

Take a look at three compelling ways after-school programs can keep kids on the right track:

While they work, they’ll also be developing study skills and gaining confidence, crucial to success in the classroom and in the real world.  
  • Keep Kids Safe: Arranging a secure place for your children to go after school is an investment in keeping them safe. Teenagers are naturally prone to risk-taking, which could result in drug experimentation, sexual activity, gang participation, or other illegal activities.
  • Strengthen Families & Communities: Improved performance and better behavior are strongly associated with participation in after-school programs. With the help of positive environments like FasTracKids, families and communities get stronger, one child at a time.
