Parents in Fort Worth looking for a safe and engaging place for their kids' post-school bells can breathe easy. The city's community centers are stepping up, offering an After-School Program that's equal parts fun and educational. According to the official city news released yesterday, this program is tailored for tykes and teens aged 5-13, providing a mix of academic support, cultural enrichment, and some good old recreation to keep the young minds sprightly and the bodies active.
Starting August 13, these sessions will run every weekday from when the school lets out until 6 p.m. And parents fretting over logistics, some of these centers are throwing in transportation to ease your burden. The youngsters won't have to grumble about grumbling stomachs either, as snacks are part of the daily deal. Details posted on the City of Fort Worth point out that prices will vary depending on which center you zero in on. But there's talk of scholarships and discounts for families that need that extra financial nudge.
For those ready to snatch up a spot for their child, pencil on July 22 on your calendars—that's when registration kicks off. Payments can be made the easy way—credit cards or electronic checks are welcome. Interested parties can find more by reaching out to their nearest community center. It's a call for community and a promise of growth, wrapped up in the simplicity of after-school care.
