"Early learning leads to later learning and early success breeds later success."
There is a broad consensus that quality after-school programs matter. These programs can have lasting positive effects on children’s academic, social, and emotional lives; and, this is particularly true for at-risk children. What students do during the out-of-school time has as much bearing on their success as what they do during the school hours.
