After-school programs faced mounting pressures in recent years, confronting affordability issues, staffing shortages and uncertainty around federal funding. Inflation and rising living costs have stretched family budgets thin, making after-school care more of a luxury than a staple for millions of families. While demand for these services remains strong, many families cannot participate a result of limited spots and high fees. This growing gap in access, especially for low- and middle-income families, has forced many parents to rely on less-formal care options and left providers scrambling to keep doors open. Revenue has been dropping at a CAGR of 3.6% to an estimated $21.0 billion through 2025, including an expected 0.4% dip that year.
