Introduction:	Through a partnership with the Department of Education, the YMCA of Honolulu provides after school care for nearly 7,000 children in grades K-6 through the A+ program at 54 public schools on Oahu. The goal of the A+ After School Program is to reduce the high incidence of latchkey children and provide affordable after school child care services to children in the public elementary schools. We provide a safe, secure and nurturing environment with a rich variety of activities for the children while you work, attend school or are in job training programs. The program starts immediately after the close of the school day. Children report to the base site for the A+ Program at their school. In general, during the first 30 minutes or so, children check in and are given time for free play/snack. After free play/snack, children are encouraged and given time to complete their homework, and then they participate in enrichment, physical development/coordination activities. Enrichment includes activities such as arts, crafts, drama, music and dance. Physical development/coordination activities include physical fitness activities, sports and games. The A+ Program is not an extension of the regular school day. While some structure is necessary for order and control, activities will be offered in a comparatively informal setting where children are given the opportunity to choose from a variety of activities.
