Right Formula To a Successful After-School Program

I have a passion for kids and working at the Easter Seals After-School program validated that. So, for this Multimedia Journalism project  it was important to bring out just the great things this program has to offer. They're so many different options for the kids who go there to do.  Having interviewed the director of the program, Mrs. Alicia Wilson, her obvious experience with kids and knowing how to run a program was evident during my sit down with her.  Was hoping to show with this piece just that it's not a regular after-school program that just have kids sit and wait for there parents to come pick them up. There is so much more that Easter Seals includes. Just the multiple options that there is to do and show that the kids simply enjoy staying there for a few hours. From playing in the gym, HW in the classroom, outside in the playground,etc. Just something that was important, to highlight while doing this.

It's important also that these kids are safe and not getting themselves in trouble after school.  So the importance of an effectively run After-School program is very essential in this country. The Easter Seals program in Valhalla definitely strives to do that everyday.
