After School Badge

Afterschool programs should provide children with an environment to unwind after the school day, a nutritional snack, some exercise, and time to be social among their peer group, meaning children around their own age. The Afterschool Fundamental Badge is awarded to early childhood programs where teachers understand that an afterschool program should complement the school day, not repeat it. These afterschool programs are committed to providing nurturing care well suited to the wide range of needs of school-age children. For more information visit mslift.org/elevate-qss/
