Juliana – I am so glad you stopped by and are feeling so encouraged. Working with children truly is rewarding and something that fills up your heart more and more each day you spend with them. I feel I learn as much from them, if not more, than I teach them. I wish you luck in your journey to become a child care professional.

Thanks for sharing your story! am so encouraged. I love children and for years I run away from the idea to really work professionally with them, I just wanted to do little and not really go the extra mile. Now as I am older and wiser (lol) I am getting the proper training needed to work with children of all ages, my knitted group are the school-agers. Another thing our professor recommended your site and it is well written and informative, again thanks!

I’m not sure what we would do without afterschool activities for my kids. We live in Michigan and send our kids to programs at American Allstars in Commerce, Michigan. They have gymnastics programs and camps for my daughter and my two sons love the Karate program. They have also had their birthday parties there. Check them out at http://americanallstarskids.com

Martin- That is awesome to hear that your Homework program is going successfully! I too have found small incentives work to keep children motivated. I like your idea of giving raffle tickets each time children attend! What a great motivator. We have had great success using homework “smilies” for children who attend and posting a WOW board that displays children’s work.

My school is in a deprived part of London. We have just started an afterschool initiative to help students with homework and to get them to go the extra mile with their studies. I have found that small rewards i.e. stickers and small refreshments are.good incentives, but we promote the big incentive as being Success! Every time a student attends they also receive a raffle ticket. At the end of a term names are drawn from the box for even bigger prizes, e.g. high street vouchers. It is working very well and.easily have 50 plus students every day
