School-age care serves children already attending school, before the school day, after it, and during holidays. Ratios are the loosest of any age band, but the operational demands — transport, homework time, variable attendance — are the highest.
Attendance is highly variable across term time, holidays, and closure days, so enrollment counts and staffing must be planned per calendar rather than per week.
Programs collecting children from schools carry transport and roll-call obligations that classroom-based care does not.
