Abstract	"America after 3PM" began in 2004, precisely because of the absence of reliable data about such topics. That year, the Afterschool Alliance set out to fill the information gap, conducting what was at that point the most in-depth study on how children spend their time after school. The 2014 "America after 3PM" edition spans a decade of data chronicling how children spend the hours between 3 and 6 p.m.--the hours after school ends and before parents typically return home from work. Together with its predecessor reports, it serves as a resource for policymakers, educators, parents and advocates on the trends of afterschool program participation, demand for afterschool programs, and the number of children who are alone and unsupervised during the after school hours. The data in this report show that parents are increasingly turning to afterschool programs to meet their own and their children's needs in the hours after school. The combined demand for afterschool, both met and unmet, exceeds 50 percent of school-age children in the United States. Parents who are fortunate enough to have access to afterschool programs are highly satisfied with those programs and are increasingly satisfied with aspects of the programs that are linked to quality. [For the 2009 edition, see "America after 3PM: The Most In-Depth Study of How America's Children Spend Their Afternoons" (ED506748).] (ERIC).
