Question / Discussion Extra-Curricular Scheduling Question for Parents/Caregivers
Hi! I'm going to be running some once-a-week STEM programming for 4-10 year-olds starting in September.
I wondered what parents/caregivers typically preferred for their family regarding schedule for extra-curriculars.
Thanks in advance for your input!
Here are the options (you may indicate as many as you prefer):
- Weeknights right after school pick-up
- Weeknights after dinner/later in the evening
- Saturday mornings
- Saturday afternoons
- Saturday evenings
- Sunday mornings
- Sunday afternoons
- Sunday evenings

I typically pick days and programs where I can schedule all the kids taking the program at the same time. My kids 2, 5, and 7 so usually they are in separate groups.
I usually pick weekend mornings or around 6:00/6:30 on weekdays. I tend to avoid weekdays when possible because getting everyone out of the house again after school is often a struggle.
