Type of Evaluation: Outcomes Monitoring.

Note: The Urban School Initiative School Age Child Care (SACC) Project provides educational activities that support and expand on the school day curriculum, daily time for homework and tutoring support, emphasis on academic reading, mathematics, computer use and other areas.

Objective: To examine the difference the Ohio Urban School Initiative School Age Child Care (SACC) Projects make in the education of participants and the differences they make for families and communities. The evaluation was also designed to measure whether indicators of quality are present in SACC programs and what these indicators are.

Sample: Data were collected in 10 SACC sites. The sites were chosen to reflect diversity in the student's ages, types of school system partners (YMCA, YWCA, private day care, Urban League, etc.), program foci, length of time program has been in place, program hours of operation (before school, after, or both) and geographic location.
