Every day in America, 13 million preschool children are left in child care arrangements, 24 million school-age youth are in need of after-school programs, and an estimated 5 million youth are without any adult supervision during out-of-school time. Most of today's children and youth will spend more time in child care and after-school programs than in formal education. The need for quality programs has never been greater. Unfortunately, national studies show that many child care and after-school programs are poor to mediocre. CSREES provides resources and national leadership to the Land-Grant University System to conduct research, education, and extension programs that will increase the quantity and improve the quality of child care (early care and education), school-age care (after-school), and teen out-of-school programs. In addition, CSREES collaborates with other federal agencies and organizations working on these issues.
