After School Care

freddyboiii

Hi,

I'm looking for as much information as possible on after school care programs i.e the type run by creches and other such facilities to look after primary school aged children between the hours when they finish school and when their parent(s) finish work.

What is the typical cost for programs like this (e.g one running between 2.30 and 5.30)?
What sort of structure/environment is typical at these facilities?
What else is included ( Food, School Pick up)?

What are the main things that a parent would look for in a good after school program?

Thanks for your help!

usually they cost 5 euro an hour in the DUblin and surrounding regions.
They all differ so much .
Are you doing market research as a provider or consumer?

Thanks, I'm doing research from the point of view of the service provider. Would pickup from school be included in that €5 per hour?

Yes it would.

I would advise not to look at a creche/after care that is part of a chain as they seem to be more about the most ey they are making and rather look at an individual or family run company as they. From my experience.
