Models of school-age child care

After-School Care: Child Outcomes and Recommendations for Research and Policy

“…A survey conducted by the School-Age Day Care Task Force in 1972 (cited in Seligson, 2001) illustrated that after-school programs encounter many financial and facilities problems. When funds are available for these programs, they are often only enough to cover startup costs (Seligson, 2001).…”

“…When funds are available for these programs, they are often only enough to cover startup costs (Seligson, 2001). In 1991, on average, 83% of such program's income came from fees paid by parents, with only 10% provided through government support (Seppanen et al, 1993).…”

“…During that time, care for school-age children was provided by charities and day nurseries (Seligson, Genser, Gannett, & Gray, 1983). During World War II, public schools were widely involved in after-school programs and other forms of child care (Seligson, 2001). Three decades later, however, the number of schools that provide after-school programs has decreased.…”

“…The Department of Education provides funds directly to school districts to establish extended-learning programs after school, such as the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program (Seligson, 2001). This program is ''a school-based/school-linked family support program designed to promote children's optimal development by providing high-quality child day-care and support services to children from birth through age 12'' (Zigler, Finn-Stevenson, & Marsland, 1995, p. 1303.…”

Conceptualization and measurement of children's after-school environments.

“…Variations in Self-Care Experiences A widespread concern (Erikson, 1988;Harris & Associates, 1987;Long & Long, 1983;Seligson, 1991) is that self-care has detrimental effects on children's development. Unfortunately, much of the research investigating self-care has failed to distinguish among different types of self-care.…”
