Before/After School

Research has shown the importance of providing extended learning opportunities for all children. Providing safe and enriching experiences for children before and after school time is the goal of many MACAE member programs. MACAE supports the work of these programs by connecting them to resources for curriculum and professional development. MACAE works closely with state and national leaders to ensure these programs are available to more and more Michigan students.
