It’s Time to Start Looking For After School Care For Fall

Chicago Public Schools projected 2017-2018 school year start date is September 5, the day after Labor Day. While specific schools may start earlier or later, it is clear to see that the end of summertime fun will be here before we know it. That means it is time to start lining up after school care programs for your kiddos. Choosing a childcare program shouldn’t be a spur of the moment decision. Getting care lined up sooner rather than later will mean that you have access to the best child care that Chicago has to offer. At Just For Kids, we make it our mission to provide excellent, safe, and fun after school child care that works with your busy schedule.

Benefits Of Just For Kids’ After School Program

Our after school program is perfect for working parents. Our clearly marked vans will arrive at your child’s school when the final bell rings, and our instructors will guide children to their designated vehicles. Once all kids are accounted for, our drivers will transport your child to our Just For Kids child care center. This means that you don’t have to leave work early to pick up your kid from school. Once at our center, your child will have access to homework help, crafts, games, sports, and an array of other activities.

We could go on and on about how great Just For Kids is, but admittedly, we may be a little bit biased. So instead, here are just a few of the many positive reviews we have received here at Just For Kids from parents who have used our after school child care services:

“Just For Kids is the “best” investment I’ve made in years! The staff is all friendly and my twins love them. I like the variety of activities they provide for the kids. I also like the fact that “homework first” is one of their mottos. The staff takes times to talk to you and discuss any issues/concerns that occur while my twins are in their care. I also appreciate the fact that Mrs. Cassandra does not let any kids walk home by themselves and she treats the children like she treats her own.”

“The teachers are well-trained, experienced, flexible, and very caring. My son – a special needs child – has bonded with his teachers and enjoys activities with other students. Just for Kids has been a blessing in Beverly Neighborhood for working parents.

“Just for Kids promotes a safe and healthy environment for children. We can trust them with assistance in homework, healthy meals, [and an] environment of positive behavior. The activities are planned for all ages to enjoy and explore.”

The best part is the staff assists with homework, so in the evening after a long day at work I do not have to worry about helping with homework and this allows me more time to prepare meals and get ready for the following day.”

As you can see, at our after school program we place a big emphasis on making sure homework gets done. We all know how important it is for kids to get their homework done so they don’t fall behind in school, and we also understand how busy you are as a parent. When you come home from a long day at work, the last thing you have time to do is spend an hour helping your child with their homework when you already have to prepare dinner, do laundry and housework, and get the kids to bed. We know that families come in all shapes and sizes, and are committed to helping your child with their schoolwork so you can come home and enjoy valuable family time together.

In addition to ensuring your child completes their homework, we are also dedicated to making sure they get home safely. As one reviewer said, we do not let children walk home by themselves, and in some instances can even provide transportation from Just For Kids to your home if you are unable to pick your child up at the end of the day. When it comes to the kids we provide care for, safety is always our number one concern – as we are sure it is yours, also. At Just For Kids, you can trust that your child is surrounded by caring adults who treat them as their own.
