Students’ afternoon care

The aim of students’ afternoon care is to offer children a peaceful, safe and stimulative place for spending their time after school. All the activities have respect for children’s own interests. Plans for the activities of students’ afternoon care are made for a month at a time and school assistants work as instructors.

In this after school club the children from 1st and 2nd grades (this school year there are 14 pupils) have an opportunity to do their homework, enjoy outdoor exercise, play games, read or take part in the activities under the supervision of instructors. There are set times for both quiet and physical activities and the children are encouraged to interact with each other socially. A healthy snack is offered every day during the afternoon. Because the pre-school group of Ruuti kindergarten use the same school premises as students’ afternoon care they work a lot together.
