Four in five New Hampshire parents who want afterschool programs for their children are unable to enroll them, generally because programs are either too expensive, unavailable, or inaccessible.
The percentage of parents who agree that afterschool programs keep kids safe and out of trouble grew from 66% in 2014 to 78% now. Large majorities of parents in the state say these programs keep kids safe, build their social skills and responsible decision making, and help parents keep their jobs and boost their productivity at work, according to a household survey commissioned by the Afterschool Alliance in Fall 2025.
