Abstract: This brief provides findings from the fifth edition of "America After 3PM," a national household survey of parents that provides insights about children and families between the hours of 3 and 6 p.m. The survey finds that both demand and support for afterschool programs are high, especially among Black parents. Parents of nearly 5.7 million Black children want afterschool programs due to the wide range of supports they offer to both children and families. However, only a fraction of Black children whose parents would enroll them if a program were available have access to one, with affordability, accessibility, and availability of programs being major challenges that Black families face.
