For South Carolina Public Radio, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris from the College of Charleston. This is Teachable Moments, a minute of education for students and parents.
Nearly half of South Carolina families struggle to find afterschool care. Research shows that cost, transportation, and availability are major barriers for working families. After school programs provide enrichment, academic support, and a safe space. That’s why programs like Kids On Point, a Charleston, SC-based nonprofit, are essential.
Through its partnership with the College of Charleston, Kids On Point offers dynamic, evidence-based, year-round programming that improves school attendance and academic performance. Programs like this are great examples of how we can help students succeed in the classroom and beyond.
