School-Age Care and After-School Programs: Developing a Responsive Curriculum--Revisited 25 Years Later
Scofield, Rich
Child Care Information Exchange, n157 p8-11 May-Jun 2004
In 1979 and 1980 "Child Care Information Exchange" ran a series of five articles about what was then called school-age day care: "Getting It Off the Ground," "Designing an Effective Structure," "Developing a Responsive Curriculum," "Selecting and Motivating Staff," and "Managing the Money." These articles from 25 years ago captured the essence of school-age child care then. As a child development specialist, the author believes that while "the times" may change, developmental stages, needs, and characteristics do not. In this article, he revisits one of those articles--"School-Age Day Care: Developing a Responsive Curriculum" and focuses on what has remained the same and what has changed.
