Summary
Experiences of 298 children in after-school programs were examined as predictors of social-emotional functioning from first-fifth grade. Results indicated changes in after-school program experiences positively predicted changes in self-control and changes in child-to-caregiver ratios predicted children's after-school program experiences and levels of social-emotional development.
