Age Care
School-age
care is care that is provided for children aged 5 years to 11 years of age. This
type of care can be found in a public or private school setting, as well as in
recreation centers, or child care centers. There is usually one director and a
staff of teachers, all trained in school-age care and related activities. Group
sizes are determined by state regulations, and programs are licensed by
individual states. Most programs run on a school-year calendar.
School-age
care can be provided in the afternoon (after school hours) and in the mornings
(before school begins). In some cases, transportation and meals are provided as
well.
