Educators have become increasingly concerned about the large number of children who must provide for their own care before and/or after school hours. The mounting evidence that at least some of these “latchkey” children are harmed by such circumstances has led many public school systems to develop After School Care Programs (ASCP). Because North Carolina has the nation's highest percentage of mothers working outside of the home, efforts undertaken by this state are of particular significance. Each of the 141 public school systems in North Carolina was surveyed. Based on responses received from 138 of these systems, 48 ASCP were identified. Information is provided on location, population, operational policies, content, personnel, evaluation, and plans for future changes. A review of the literature and a discussion of pertinent issues are also provided.
