There is no schedule or timetable for how all children should grow. In fact, there is a huge amount of variance in the pace that each child develops at.
A classic example of this is the age at which babies start to walk. Some babies start to walk at the age of 9 months where others only take the first step at the age of 15 months.

Finding an aftercare school that understands the needs of your family, can make a huge difference when it comes to managing work demands and the general stresses of life.
Good after school care should also provide a secure environment, one where children are given the freedom to be creative, while offering them a structure perfect for early childhood development.
There is no doubt that extra-mural activities such as sports and club activities, teach children important life lessons.
Extra-mural activities also have health benefits because kids playing sports are more active, they develop important muscle groups, and they spend more time out of doors, which in turn encourages more creativity.
When a child is exposed to a variety of extramural activities, they begin to develop various skills and understandings, including vital life skills such as learning to swim or how to catch a ball.
Experience has shown us that a person’s life; their successes, health and emotional well-being have their roots embedded deeply in early childhood development. We know that if we get it right in the early years, we can expect our little ones to thrive throughout school and their adult lives.
Nature, in other words genetics, nurture, and the environment that we provide for our children, influence a child's development. A child’s early childhood environments and the appropriate experiences are crucial to the way each child’s brain structure develops.
