Why OST Programs Matter
OST programs play a crucial role in the development and well-being of children. These programs provide a safe, engaging environment where children can continue learning, socialize, and participate in enriching activities after school hours. However, running a successful OST program requires meticulous planning, seamless coordination, and effective communication with parents.
The Challenges of Managing OST Programs
Managing OST programs comes with its unique set of challenges:
- Enrollment and Registration: Handling numerous enrollments and registrations can be overwhelming, especially when done manually.
- Communication with Parents: Keeping parents informed about schedules, activities, and any changes requires consistent and clear communication.
