Aftercare

Aftercare is a support service for school children whose parents or guardians cannot arrange pickup at the time of dismissal. IST offers aftercare services on school days from 14:25 to 18:00.

Aftercare teachers plan daily activities to ensure that children stay active and develop various skills during these hours. Activities include painting, drawing, collage-making, educational games, and movement-based games, among others. Different activity stations are set up, allowing children to choose freely. Additionally, children have time for unstructured play, which is essential for their overall development.
