America After 3PM: NJ Data Briefing

America After 3PM: NJ Data Briefing

New Jersey was recognized as one of the Top 10 states in the country for Parent Recognition of Afterschool Programs — a clear sign that NJ families understand and value the vital role afterschool plays in supporting youth, working parents, and communities.

But while families see the value, many still face barriers around affordability, accessibility, and availability. Policymakers must also recognize that afterschool isn’t just “nice to have” — it’s essential to New Jersey’s economy. Afterschool is a critical part of the child care continuum, helping parents work, supporting employers, and strengthening communities.

Join NJSACC and NJBIA for a powerful conversation on the new America After 3PM report — the nation’s most comprehensive look at afterschool. Learn what New Jersey parents are saying, where the greatest needs exist, and how afterschool programs strengthen our kids, families, and economy.
