It's 3 p.m. - Do you know where your children are?
The average family in Palm Beach County is comprised of either two working parents or a single working parent. This has created a community of latchkey children - young children and teens going home to an empty house or caring for younger siblings. For this reason, the Children's Services Council has made it a priority to provide quality after-school programs so that school-age children spend non-school hours in safe, nurturing environments where they can grow socially, emotionally, physically and academically. The Council focuses on community-based after-school programming as part of a diverse system of programs within communities, schools and the subsidized child care system.
