I am a firm believer in keeping kids active in mind and body during the summertime. What if I told you that you could find amazing summer activities for your kids right at your fingertips?
I know as parents, although we love to spend the summer months with our kids, we need a little down time and our kids need an outlet that doesn’t involve screen time! It’s all about creating the right balance.
This post is written in partnership with Afterschoolz. All opinions are my own.
So school is out…..now what to do? Where do you start looking for programs for your kids?
When my older kids were small I had to rely on word of mouth or mailings to find activities for them that they would enjoy. It was difficult at best.
Most of the time when I found out about activities they would love it would be full or too expensive because I missed the deadline to sign up and needed to pay a fee.
It’s much easier now when I am looking into activities for my 10 year old! It’s the digital age. Companies are coming up with more ways everyday to make our lives as parents and caregivers simpler.
One of the amazing things about living in the Chicagoland area is the multitude of possibilities for kids of all ages.
We have award winning cooking classes, dance classes, art classes and STEM classes, to name a few. Even circus and theater camps!
It can be overwhelming and the people at Afterschoolz saw the need to help parents manage, find and sign up to these amazing programs.
I have been using it to look up activities for Liv and I was amazed at how easy it is to find what you are looking for right away.
Why choose Afterschoolz?
Afterschoolz has implemented new search tools that make it easier to find activities based on age, location, cost, etc.
Everyone’s time is valuable and they help make sure no time is wasted searching through thousands of activities just to find the one you want.
Everything is location based so all you have to do is type in your location and search away. Afterschoolz ultimate goal is helping parents find fun and engaging activities for their kids.
Afterschoolz is such a invaluable tool for parents and caregivers during the summer. You can search for a class that goes for a few weeks or just a fun activity for a day.
In just a quick glance, after I entered Liv’s age group, I found a vegetarian cooking class, a Minecraft Mania class and a book club for her!
She loves all of these things and they aren’t long classes so it will be perfect for her. She’ll still have her brain stimulated and have plenty of time for fun in the sun.
Afterschoolz’s mission is to help you help your kids to be their best. We do this by finding after school activities that best match your kids’ aptitude and interests.
As parents, we started Afterschoolz because we found it to be difficult and time consuming to plan meaningful activities for our own children.
We accomplish our mission by:
Making it as easy as possible for parents to find, schedule and enroll for after school activities. As parents, we all live busy lives and we want to make this stressful and time consuming process easier.
Matching you with activities best suited to your child’s needs. Whether your child is a talented artist in need of mentoring or your child is struggling to keep up in math, there are caring, talented teachers who can help. We want to help you find them.
