he dog days of summer are drawing to a close, which means back-to-school prep is right around the corner. Clearly, prepping
will be a little different this year, and plenty of questions still
abound as to what “school” will even look like. Will the kiddos be learning from home again? Will it be a combination of distance
learning and in-school time? What about us parents who barely made it through the last few months of last school year?
The typical stuff like buying supplies, showing up for teacher
orientations (in person or on Zoom), scheduling sports physicals,
and sifting through the latest fashion trends will keep us busy. But
here’s another item for the to-do list: figuring out after-school care.

act for any parent. It would really help out if we had somewhere
safe for the kids to go, and luckily, that’s where after-school care comes into play.
Here are a few tips on how to pick after-school care that fits you and your child’s needs: www.35WestMagazine.com
