My child attends Manor Oaks in New Hyde Park, NY, and like many working parents, we face the challenge of balancing work commitments and ensuring our child's after-school care. With no family nearby to assist, and both parents working full-time, the need for a structured aftercare program is essential for us.

An enriching aftercare program would provide children like mine, who are energetic and eager to learn, with a safe and nurturing environment. Currently, many parents in our community share this concern, as they juggle responsibilities without adequate support systems. The introduction of an aftercare program tailored specifically for PreK students will not only support parents but also aid in the development of our young children.

Such a program should feature accredited teachers who are able to offer enrichment activities and classroom learning support. This can significantly enhance children's development by promoting essential social skills among classmates, in a positive and age-appropriate environment. Studies show that children who engage in structured aftercare programs perform better academically and improve their social interactions.

By signing this petition, we can work together to advocate for our children and initiate this vital resource for our community. Sign now to support an aftercare program for PreK children at Manor Oaks in New Hyde Park.

Thank you for your consideration and support. Stand with us to make a change that benefits our families and the growth of our children. Please sign this petition to create a meaningful impact!
