!Interpret data with caution (estimates are unstable; standard error/mean estimate is greater than or equal to 0.3).
|
1Activities for supervision include extracurricular activities such as sports, arts, and clubs that are not associated with center- or school-based arrangements and that occur at least once a week. Parents can use such activities to provide children with adult supervision (nonparental care). Similar activities can also be undertaken because of children’s personal interest and enjoyment and not primarily for the purpose of adult supervision.
|
2Black includes African American and Hispanic includes Latino. Racial categories exclude Hispanic origin. See supplemental note 1 for information on the “other” category for race/ethnicity.
|
3Children without mothers (birth, adoptive, step, or foster) residing in the household are excluded from estimates of mother’s employment status. Details do not sum to totals because of this exclusion.
|
4See supplemental note 1 for information on community type.
|
NOTE: Homeschooled children are excluded. Some children participate in more than one type of nonparental care arrangement after school, so the sum of all arrangement types exceeds the total percentage of nonparental care arrangements. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. See the glossary for definitions of type of care arrangements. Estimates are revised from previously published data.
