Posted on Jan 23, 2017

After school play time has proven essential in so many areas of a child's development including academic improvement, social skills and increasing healthy habits. Monkey Joe's is the perfect place to nurture and help develop these improvements! We're going to take a deeper dive and let you know how Monkey Joe's can dramatically improve your child's overal well-being. 

Academics -- Studies have shown that after school play can dramatically increase a child's attention span and engagement in school activity. They're also developing an understanding of larger concepts, which can be taken inside or outside of the classroom. This after school play also helps to decrease violent or problem behavior!

Social Skills -- Not only does after school play allow them to interact and meet new children, but it also helps improve their independence and confidence. They'll develop skills like leadership, the importance of sharing ideas and working together as a team. These social skills will help them in and out of the classroom, and develop broader social concepts that can be used later in life!

Healthy Habits -- We hate to see our kids glued to a tablet or phone! In this day and age, it's often difficult to get kids to see outside their screens and get active. Bringing the kids to Monkey Joe's keeps them active and engaged, and gets them tuckered out so they'll sleep better at night!
