Fall 1990 Volume 28 Number 3 Educational Needs of After-School Care Providers Mike Davis Associate Extension State 4-H Leader, Specialist in Charge North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service North Carolina State University-Raleigh Eddie Locklear Extension 4-H Specialist North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service North Carolina State University-Raleigh Howard Scott Extension 4-H Agent North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service-Wayne County In North Carolina, like many other states, we've considered the most appropriate and feasible roles of Extension in programming for school-aged youth in child care settings. The ES-USDA ad hoc committee report, "Extension and School-Age Child Care," suggests that viable roles for Extension are offering educational services to child care providers, accessing new audiences, and contributing to increased quality of services for children and families. Quality of care is the area where Extension may make its most immediate contribution with many 4-H and home economics professionals already providing educational services. Recognizing that adequate training of child care providers is a major impediment to increasing the quality of after-school child care, our task force felt a training needs assessment of this target audience was required. The study was to determine the training needs of after-school care providers and if the training needs identified were significantly different for tenure, number of children served, and the specific role of the provider (aide, teacher, owner).

Child Care Facts December 1999 FACT #1 Every day, 13 million pre-schoolers, including six million infants and toddlers, are in child care. Three out of five young children are in child care. Millions more school-aged children are in after-school and summer activities, and nearly five million children are at home alone after school while their parents work. Children enter child care as young as six weeks old and stay for as many as 40 hours per week until they reach school age. Thirty percent of all pre-school children (younger than age six) are enrolled in early childhood centers and fourteen percent are enrolled in family child care homes. FACT #2 Women work outside the home in the overwhelming majority of American families. Sixty-five percent of mothers with children younger than age six, and 78 percent of mothers with children between the ages of six and 13 are in the labor force. Half of mothers with infants are in the labor force. In 1996, only 23 percent of all families with children younger than age six — and only one-third of married couple families with young children — had one parent working and one parent who stayed at home. Fifty-five percent of working women in the United States bring home at least half of family earnings.

04-ASC-3 Inclusive After-School Care: Supporting Children and Youth with Developmental Disabilities Purpose The purpose of this initiative is to design and implement collaborative, creative solutions that demonstrate and expand quality, inclusive, community-based after-school care for middle school-aged children and youth with developmental disabilities. The Council, in partnership with the Maryland State Department of Education, is soliciting proposals from qualified applicants to develop a model, replicable community-based licensed after-school program that includes middle school–aged children and youth with significant disabilities in age-appropriate activities. Background Although the Americans with Disabilities Act was enacted over a decade ago, there are indications from families, child and after-school care providers, and advocates that the availability of quality inclusive child and after school care in Maryland remains scarce. A 2001 survey of childcare providers by the Maryland Committee for Children on the subject of Child Care for Children with Special Needs revealed that many child care providers remain unknowledgeable about children with disabilities.

Almanac of Policy Issues Home Search Archive Child Care As more women and mothers enter the workforce, child care has become an increasingly important public policy issue. Many families, particularly those with modest incomes, have trouble financing its cost. Poor quality of care is another persistent problem. Low wages for child care workers tend to promote high turnover and inexperienced providers, and a patchwork of state regulations inadequately address these concerns. The federal and state governments have a number of programs that tackle some of these issues, but many problems still remain unsolved. The Growing Need for Child Care Over the past several decades, women have entered the workforce in record numbers. In the 1940s, fewer than one in five women with children worked outside the home. By 1998, 65 percent of women with children under the age of six were in the labor force. As more and more women have moved, by necessity or choice, from the home to the workforce, the need for affordable, high-quality child care has become critical. Sadly, this need often goes unmet. Each week nearly 5 million children are left unsupervised after school. This lack of supervision is associated with increased drug use, juvenile delinquency, and crime.

This includes programs operated by schools, family day care providers, recreation centers, youth-serving organizations, and child care centers. Also known as extended day programs, before-and-after school programs provide enrichment, academic instruction, recreation and supervised care. An array of drop-in and part-time programs also serve an ad hoc child care function. Options Available to Families of School-age Children Changes in family structure and values have altered the way in which many children are cared for. More mothers are in the labor force; more families are headed by a single parent; and fewer relatives are available to care for children. Increasing numbers of families are looking for ways to care for their children in before-and-after school programs or through the use of a patchwork quilt of care arrangements.
