We have 20 Core Values at Children's Choice. The first is quality.
We know that high QUALITY afterschool programs have strong
positive effects on the academic, social and emotional development of children.
We know that what children do during their out-of-school-time hours has as much
influence on their success as what they do during the school day. We know that
participation in high-quality afterschool programs is associated with better
academic achievement, better work habits, stronger task persistence, better
school attendance, better attitudes toward school, more self-confidence,
stronger self-esteem, and better social skill development. We know that these
benefits continue to grow even after students leave elementary school.
