Before- and After-School Care, Programs, and Activities of Children in Kindergarten Through Eighth Grade: 2001

This report provides insight into the complex and varied ways kindergarten through eighth graders in the nation spend their time out of school. Some spend time in with relative or a nonrelative in a home setting. Others spend time in center- or school-based programs or organized activities that are aimed toward their enrichment or enjoyment. Still others are responsible for themselves during out-of-school time. Children also experience patchworks of arrangements in order to meet the contingencies of availability, cost, etc. Data used for this report come from the Before- and After-School Programs and Activities Survey of the 2001 National Household Education Surveys Program.
