Report: Most Indiana Kids Needing After-School Programs Can’t Access Them
Five in six Indiana parents who want an after-school program for their child can’t find one, largely due to cost, transportation, and a lack of available options, according to new survey data from the Afterschool Alliance.
A new study released by the Afterschool Alliance found that despite high demand, many Hoosier parents struggle to access after-school programs for their kids.
The “America After 3PM” household survey found that just 83,820 Hoosier children are enrolled in an after-school program, although parents of nearly half a million kids would like to be.
According to the Afterschool Alliance, cost, transportation, and a lack of available options are the main barriers to accessing after-school programs.
