For the working parent, afterschool childcare doesn't have to pose a major problem. The Austin Parks & Recreation Department offers great aftercare programs at area rec centers. Our pup goes to Hancock Rec Center. Aftercare counselors meet and supervise his walk from school with a gaggle of other kids. At the center, Hancock provides a supervised homework time and snacks, then plenty of time for play. The counselors are very cool and address concerns with parents in the same professional manner a teacher might.
