Elementary School Children’s After-School Activities Ranking Unveiled by Poppins
On April 19th, coinciding with "Daycare Day," Poppins Co., Ltd. conducted a survey highlighting the extracurricular activities that elementary school children wish to participate in at after-school care clubs. Approximately 90% of the surveyed students are involved in activities outside of school, with top preferences in 'arts and crafts', 'job experience', and 'financial literacy' revealing a growing demand for additional services in after-school settings.
As interest in education rises and more dual-income households emerge, many families face challenges with drop-off and pick-up logistics between after-school clubs and extracurricular activities. This trend has sparked a growing interest in the implementation of classes within after-school care programs. Poppins believes in the philosophy of 'EduCare,' which combines education and care, aiming to cater to the interests of children by providing relevant activities.
According to the survey results, an impressive 88% of children utilize extracurricular activities. The most popular options among them include swimming (21%), tutoring (16%), and music classes (12%).
When asked what activities they would like to try at after-school clubs, children overwhelmingly chose 'arts and crafts' (16%), 'job experience' (16%), and 'financial literacy' (13%) as their top three preferences. These findings highlight a shift in children's interests toward hands-on experiences that not only engage but also educate.
Poppins has a long history of offering additional paid activities, including English lessons, music, and gymnastics in nursery schools. Recognizing that childhood is a critical period for developing social skills and emotional sensitivity, Poppins aims to leverage these insights along with prior knowledge to provide varied learning opportunities at after-school clubs.
