Tips for finding an afterschool program

Today’s children grow up di erently than their par-

ents did. Technology has changed the way students

learn in the classroom, but perhaps the biggest di er-

ence between how today’s kids grow up and how their

parents were raised concerns the dynamic at home.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2018

both parents worked in 63 percent of households that

were home to married-couple families with children.

Many of those parents likely did not grow up in house-

holds in which both of their parents worked full-time

throughout their childhoods, marking a signi cant dif-

ference in the dynamics of modern families compared

to those of yesteryear.

Afterschool programs take on heightened impor-

tance when both parents work full-time, especially if

neither parent works from home. Many schools and

community organizations o er afterschool programs.

While it’s great to have options, too many options can

make it daunting for parents to nd the program for

their children. e Afterschool Alliance (www.after-

schoolalliance.org), which works to ensure all youth

have access to a ordable, quality afterschool programs,
