摘要：This research is a descriptive study in the screening model, aiming to reveal the opinions of parents about extracurricular educational activities carried out in children's clubs. The universe of the study is composed of 440 parents whose pupils participate in extracurricular activities in five primary schools in Kastamonu (four public and one private) under a children's club. The data were obtained with a questionnaire developed by the researchers and analyzed based on descriptive statistics.The findings of the survey show that families sending children to children's clubs are middle and upper social classes. Families send their children to socialize, develop their children in the club space and develop artistic and aesthetic values. While the fee-based activities of children's clubs restrict participation of children, it provides additional income for schools and teachers on duty.The families assess the expenditures they have made within the scope of the children's clubs in the context of the investment expenditure to increase their children’s human capital. In this respect, extracurricular activities carried out in the context of children's clubs create an opportunity inequality for children from the lower societal segment of the society. In connection with this research, different researches can be done including the contributions of the extracurricular activities carried out in the children's clubs to the students.
