Fellows for this unique program are selected through a competitive process. For more information and to apply, click here Every child deserves the child care and early education — the "head start" — that they need to get a strong start in life, and to be safe and secure while their parents are at work. While parents should be their children's first teachers, many parents want and need good child care and early education that can help prepare their children for school. And many school-age children need good after-school options to keep them safe and productive while their parents are at work. Whether it is child care, Head Start, prekindergarten, or after-school activities for school-age children, far too many American children and families are not getting what they need because good programs are often unaffordable and difficult to find. The need for quality child care and after-school activities is a daily concern for millions of American working parents.

NCJW Home Child Care Talking Points on After-School Care NCJW believes that school-age children must have quality child care options. We support steps to develop safe, affordable, before- and after-school programs for children. Why do we need quality after-school programs? In most places, children’s school hours do not correspond with parents’ working hours, leaving many children without adult supervision after the school day ends. Most juvenile crime occurs during the hours immediately following school; good programs keep children safe and out of trouble, reducing the likelihood that they will be the victims or perpetrators of crime. Such programs also help the academic performance of children by reducing truancy and providing extra time for study and enrichment activities. Further, they can assist children in developing better social skills and teach them to resolve differences, thus building self confidence. Quality after-school programs can even reduce smoking and drug abuse. How many children need after-school care?

Send an E-Card AFTER-SCHOOL CARE The experts give advice on how to find school-age child care by Mary Chatfield, M.A. Preschoolers aren't the only ones who need child care. Often when parents take jobs, they feel uncomfortable leaving their school-age kids home alone. But it's a challenge to find a child care center that won't seem too babyish for eight-year-olds. Most school-age children want to be considered a "big kid." A parent's task is to find a program where school-age children have a separate area for their age group with activities planned to meet their unique developmental needs. After being in school all day many children need to let loose some energy and play outdoors. Some need some quiet time and prefer a comfy corner to read a book or talk with friends. Others are ready for a challenging project that's different from school worka crafts project, cooking, woodworking, board games or computer games. Still other children will want to jump right in and get their homework done. Ideally a center designed for school-age children will have all of these options available for your child.

Home Before- and After-School Care If you are a PTA member and would like additional information about this issue, click here Background More than 5 million, and perhaps as many as 15 million, American children have nowhere to go after school. These children are at significant risk of getting poor grades, abusing drugs or alcohol, engaging in sexual activity, and becoming the victims of crime. They are also missing out on opportunities to learn and grow. Before- and after-school programs can provide extended learning opportunities and positive interactions with caring adults in safe environments. The after-school hours are the time when juvenile crime hits its peak, but quality after-school programs can protect our children. In communities with comprehensive programs children are less likely to commit crimes or be victimized, and are less likely to engage in sexual activity or use drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. In a Northeastern University poll, nine out of 10 police chiefs nationwide agreed that, "if America doesn't pay for greater investments in programs to help children and youth now [such as after-school programs], we will all pay far more later in crime, welfare, and other costs."

After School Programs: Hours of Operation and Average Cost of K-6 After School Programs in Hampshire and Franklin County After School Programs offer part time care for children in grades K-6. The Mass. Office for Child Care Services (OCCS) regulates their operation. These are usually private, non-profit organizations with distinct philosophies that are located in public school buildings but are not financially supported by the Department of Education. Most after school programs follow the public school vacation and summer programming calendar. A few programs offer vacation and summer programming for school age children. Note: These programs are very loosely regulated. The closest regulatory equivalent is children's summer camp. Hours of operation : After school programs regularly operate on a Monday to Friday schedule from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm and conform to the public school calendar, and often include a longer day on Wednesday from 1:00 pm - 5:30 pm. Fees : Fees are based on 5 day enrollment and parents are billed monthly. All programs accept vouchers and/or other forms of tuition assistance. Average fees are approximately $7.50 daily (M,T,Th, F) and $12.50 on Wednesday. DTA child care vouchers are accepted at all programs. Capacity : Programs typically range from 10- 30+ children in grades K-6. At the current time no program is operating at full capacity and program staff in every program in Amherst, Hampshire and Franklin counties would like to increase their enrollment.

58. Evaluating After-School Care This study was funded by Stone Soup child care Programs, a provider of afterschoolcare; by RAND, through its child Policy Project; and by the Promising http://www.rand.org/publications/RB/RB2505/

Evaluating After-School Care More and more children with mothers who work outside of the home are participating in after-school programs, and increased federal and state funding suggests that the number of such programs will continue to grow in the coming years. Funding for the U.S. Department of Education's 21st Century Community Learning Centers alone increased from $1 million in 1997 to $450 million in 2000, with $1.5 billion proposed for 2002. The impetus for this growth extends beyond increased government funding. For instance, a partnership between the U.S. Department of Education and the Mott Foundation has given rise to the Afterschool Alliance, a coalition of public and private organizations dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of after-school programs and advocating on their behalf. The alliance's goal is that every child should have access to high-quality, affordable after-school care by 2010. The "high-quality" goal is particularly daunting. The need for after-school services became apparent so quickly that there has been virtually no time to muster support for testing and evaluating the various aspects of the programs being offered. Program managers who are committed to high-quality care have thus been faced with the challenge of attempting to measure their activities against almost nonexistent standards.
