Out of school time is essential to school-age kids' well-being, health and learning. School age children need reliable, supervised and safe settings with enriching activities when not in school. Whether this out-of-school time is at home or in a supervised setting like the school gym, community center, or a licensed childcare center, kids benefit greatly from enrichment opportunities in academics, sports and specialty programs, and multipurpose programs designed to improve kids' personal and social skills. Research demonstrates that out-of-school time programs can support student academic achievement and may play a role in reducing health disparities. UW employees and students benefit from several programs and services to help make it easier to identify options that work for your family.
