Great After Daycare Ideas | Richmond, BC, RPC Daycare




So you've just picked up your kids from daycare and they have nothing to do. What are your options ?

Well if you were like me growing up I would gather that you had a busy schedule after day care too. The theory behind my busy schedule of after school activities from my parents perspective was to broaden my experience,  meet new friends and keep me occupied so I wouldn't get into trouble or meet trouble makers. And it worked.

Now this said, after school activities are not free. Now and then you may find something free but over all this is an investment you are making with your children. But it is well worth it.

Just below is a list of activities that have been around for years. I didn't provided web links or addresses to all of them but merely wanted to bring suggestions to you, so you can and your spouse can talk over and make decisions on.

Each of the activities below I have ranked by the benefits instead of whether it is a good activity or not. This should help you make decisions quicker on what activity may suit your child more then another.

Have fun planning and leave us a comment if this was helpful to you.

Benefits
Suggestions

Academic Learning

Math

Additional learning will build confidence at your child in school

I recommend KUMON learning center in Richmond. They have an excellent program
English
Same as above

Writing
Same as above




Art Classes
General Arts
Any arts will help with small motor skills. There are many small & affordable programs all over Richmond.
Check out programs at the Richmond Art Gallery & Community centers.
Also some of the Chinese malls have fun drawing classes available.
Drawing
Painting
Pottery
Wood working
Sports
Soccer
This is a cheap sport. Just a good pair of soccer boats and shin guards and you’re set. And the boots you can find second hand.


Hockey
Expensive. Look into both ice, cosum hockey and roller blade hockey also.


Baseball
A good spring summer sport


Badminton
Indoor and outdoor
Lots of great places to play and popular at school.
Great for building agility


Tennis
Like badminton, lots of great places to play and a few personal coaches around


Gymnastics
For the fearless and lots of energy kids. Great to build agility and could also lead into “parkour/freerun”



Martial Arts
Great for self-discipline and self defense
Check out Karate, tae-kwan-do and aikido
