    Had this in my small town in America. They knew folks didn’t have a whole extra mortgage to pay for childcare, so they paid some teachers more after school to watch those kids who parents worked later. We did hw, played games, got the playground to ourselves, then went home when mom and dad came. But in America this idea hasn’t gone off the ground, idk why because day care centers are making a stealing.

      There were after school programs when I was a kid too and I wasn’t in a small town. Just depends on where you are I guess. We’d start in the cafeteria with a small snack and then go to the playground for a while before hanging out in the gym goofing off and watching movies until we got picked up
