Report: Five-In-Six Indiana Parents Can’t Find After-School Programs

A new report from the Afterschool Alliance finds five in six Indiana parents can’t find an after-school program for their kids.

The report finds the main reasons are cost, a lack of available options, and transportation.

The Afterschool Alliance’s “America After 3PM” survey was released this week and found just under 84-thousand Hoosier children are in after-school programs compared to the nearly half-million whose parents want them enrolled.

Indiana Afterschool Alliance CEO Lakshmi Hasanadka says the programs keep kids safe, help them learn, and support working families.
