The children are given the opportunity for supervised play indoors and outdoors (weather permitting), homework time and homework help, snack time with extra snacks for kids who didn't bring a snack, games, arts & crafts, and a movie day. Because Alternate Route for Kids is held at the schools, it gives the children the opportunity to join after school activities such as sports and clubs. Parents do not have to worry about transportation to these activities while they are at work.
