How much do you pay for Afterschool activities?

Harris from Mahora

Kia ora koutou,

I'm currently working on setting up an after school program for creative kids and was curious about what parents and caregivers in my community are paying for these sorts of things?

So I was hoping all you parents and caregivers could shed some light on that for me.

How much do you budget for after school activities for your kids?
How much do you pay for a term of after school activities?
What activities are you kids doing?
How long do these activities or programs run for?

Any info you have would be super helpful and highly appreciated!

Ngā manaakitanga,
Harris

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
