Juvenile crime peaks between the hours of 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. Parents need flexible, affordable options to ensure their kids stay safe and out of trouble after the school bell rings. By enrolling their kids in afterschool programs, parents can know that they are supervised, learning, and having fun. And because they don’t have to worry about their kids’ safety, parents can focus on providing for their families.
