After School and Extended Day Options in Huntsville, Madison, and Madison Co.
As summer comes to its inevitable end most parents are no longer tasked with how to occupy their school aged children during the day. The return to a normal schedule is especially helpful to parents who work outside the home but, as much as we may wish it did, the work day does not end at 2:30PM. That means finding an after school care solution for your elementary and/or middle school child. To help make that task easier, we’ve compiled a handy list of options here.
This list does not include the programs offered by local school systems or the various local Boys & Girls Clubs. It’s important to note that those are all good options.
