The purpose of this study was to explore how parents perceive the benefits of the East Street and Greater Portmore Junior Centre Visual and Performing Arts After School Program (JSVPASP). This research employs a qualitative research design which, according to Creswell (2014), is “a means for exploring and understanding the meaning individuals or groups ascribe to a social or human problem” (p. 246). This research is therefore aimed at exploring recent and relevant research articles relating to visual and performing arts and its benefits to children. The objective of this study was also achieved by using data collecting techniques such as telephone interviews, face to face interviews, and field notes with 18 parents of students who were attending the centre for over 1 year. The interview results indicated that parents have seen improvement in their children’s academic performances, social skills, behaviours, and self-confidence while attending the Centre. The results of this study will be used to encourage stakeholders to invest in the Junior Centre programmes, to highlight its benefits, and to increase parental participation in the activities and development of the Junior Centre.
