What is before- and after-school child care?
Before and after child care is generally available for children 6 to 12 years of age. This type of child care is usually connected with a day care center, school, or community agency, but may be provided in a home setting. This type of child care typically offers a change of pace from a structured school routine. It is generally open on days and hours public schools are not in session. Arrangements tend to be flexible and based on family’s needs.
