��������������������������������������� ���������� THE FUTURE ROLE OF AFTER-SCHOOL CARE CENTERS �Case study of the "Moriguchi After�School Club", an integrated approach to "after-school care for all children" and "Bambi Home", a traditional after-school care program� ����*,�����**,����*** Ayuko MATSUMOTO , Saori YAMANE and Chihiro SEKIKAWA (Objective) We discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the "After-School Plan for Children," which will be implemented by the government in 2007, and examine the future role of after-school care centers.(Method) To compare the "After-School Plan for Children" with conventional after-school care programs, we carried out a questionnaire survey of parents and interviewed people living in municipalities that have adopted the integrated approach to "after-school care for all children". (Results) 1) While the "After-School Plan for Children" provides significant financial benefits for the administrative operation, satisfactory levels of after-school care services are not available for parents and their children. 2) It is becoming increasingly important to develop an after-school care program from the viewpoint of children and parents who utilize the program.

(Methods) 1) We classified the present condition of childcare offered by 13 local government programs on the basis of our analysis of the data obtained through hearings, observations, and questionnaires. 2) We analyzed the results that were revealed through the classification. (Results) 1) Based on the analysis, we classified the integrated programs into eight types. 2) We concluded that among these eight integrated program models program type 2 was the most desirable.
