When you think about child care outside the home, you might think about infants, toddlers, or Pre-K students…but for many families it also includes after-school care for children ages five and up. In Georgia, over 2,700 licensed child care programs offer after-school care, and over 45-percent of our CAPS scholarships help pay for it. Here to talk about school-age programs in Georgia is Pam Stevens, Deputy Commissioner of Child Care Services; Melissa Davis, Director for CCS Quality Operations, and Michelle Garris, School Age Specialist for DECAL.
