Promise 4: After School

Promise 4: After School Programs

After school programs are highly beneficial to students. They provide a safe place for children when their parents are not home. Florida’s after school care is lacking, and many children who want to participate are unable to. Early Learning Coalitions are forced to choose between younger and older children due to inadequate funds. If these programs are not provided to children, the overall costs will increase. Failure to provide high quality before and after school leads to higher levels of juvenile crime, teen pregnancies, and teen drug abuse.
