School-age children ages 5 through 12 years spend their out-of-school time in many different types of arrangements. In addition to parental care, these include relative care, non-relative care (either in their own or another family's home), center- or school-based programs, sports and extracurricular activities, summer activities, and self-care. Care types are not necessarily exclusive; some children spend time in a combination of arrangements or have more than one arrangement within a type. This brief will focus primarily on the range of non-parental arrangements in which school-age children participate regularly, both during the school year and in the summer. This range is greater and more complex for school-age children than for infants and toddlers and preschoolers who are primarily in center care, relative care, or non-relative care.
