 Links for Afterschool & Family Child Care ProvidersAfterschool Alliance The Alliance was formed on the belief that afterschool programs are critical to children and families today, and that the need for programs is not adequately addressed. As many as 15 million children have no place to go after the school bell rings. These children are at significant risk of getting poor grades, being victims of crime, or participating in anti-social behaviors that have grave consequences and costs to society. They are also missing significant opportunities to learn and grow. Afterschool.gov Offers links and referrals to a wide variety of after-school resources including a database of more than 100 grant and loan programs from the federal government. Bringing Yourself to Work After-school care advocates Michelle Seligson and Patricia Jahoda Stahl are the directors of Bringing Yourself to Work: Caregiving in After-School Environments, a ground-breaking new training model for after-school program staff that places unprecedented emphasis on the importance of self-awareness among caregivers. As part of Bringing Yourself to Work, Seligson and Stahl have developed a set of tools to enable after-school caregivers to integrate self-knowledge and personal experience into their relationships with children. The project components include a book, a staff training program and a training manual that is available to after-school programs across the country Building Blocks Family Day Care After 16 years of working outside the home.
