Description:
The 2014 America After 3PM edition—which spans a decade of data chronicling how children spend the hours between 3 and 6 p.m.—has found that overall participation in afterschool programs has increased by nearly 60 percent from 2004 to 2014, with nearly 4 million more children in afterschool programs today. In addition to more children participating in afterschool programs, parents’ satisfaction with specific aspects of afterschool programs—such as the quality of care, staff and program activities— has significantly increased over the last five years.
