School's Out??

We’re inspired by STEM camps that empower young scientists to make real breakthroughs—like 13-year-old Camarria Williams, whose work led to a groundbreaking medical discovery in the fight against cancer. Way to go, Camarria! ?? cc: Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Girls Who Code

What prevents parents from finding the care they need to make summer more manageable? In the recent National Summer Learning Association and American Camp Association Summer Experiences Survey done by Gallup, 48% of the parents surveyed wished their children could have participated, or participated more than they did, in summer programming. When asked about the barriers to participation they rank cost, scheduling conflicts with work, and a lack of awareness around available programming as the top three reasons. We hear that! Roughly 30% of the activities listed on School's Out this past summer offered scholarship opportunities, with the ability to limit search results to these offerings. Scheduling conflicts become easier to navigate with clear labels to denote before and/or after care. And our platform makes it easy to find new activities. Outside of cost, scheduling, and ability to search, what prevents you from signing your child up for an activity? Thank you to Elliot Haspel and The Atlantic for highlighting this important issue in "How to Solve the Summer-Child-Care Nightmare." https://lnkd.in/g8i5BcC8

As we approach summer, many parents are grappling with the challenges and costs of keeping their children engaged and cared for while they continue their careers. This post perfectly captures the struggle and raises important questions about our current system. At School's Out, we're working to provide solutions by offering a wide range of activities and options to make summer planning, and ultimately year-round activities, a bit easier. Follow School's Out and let's continue this important conversation. As we say, "busy kids = happy parents. And it shouldn't be this hard."
