Drivers:
Ø Focus on Academic Support and Enrichment
Many after-school programs in Massachusetts offer academic tutoring, STEM activities, arts, and sports. Parents increasingly seek programs that provide educational support or enrichment to help children excel academically and socially.

Finding and retaining qualified staff is a challenge for many after-school programs.

Programs that integrate robotics, coding, and engineering can cater to the growing demand for academic enrichment and help children develop valuable skills.
